They Did It Again

Congratulations to the Spartan Women's Track and FIeld Team on their impressive victory in winning the 26th Annual NAIA Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Kudos to Nickesah Anderson, who was chosen as the Herbert B. Marett Outstanding Performer of the Meet, and to MBU Head Coach VInce Bingham, '88, who was named the NAIA Women's Outdoor Track & Field National Coach of the Year. To see related story go here.

I also wanted to share a very exciting development at MBU. Last Thursday, we held the groundbreaking ceremony for the new student coffeehouse due to open this fall. It will be located on the quad and will feature seating for around 100 people, along with a working fireplace, flat screen TV's, an outdoor patio, and wireless Internet access.

Finally, congratulations to Linda Leonard, '79, who was chosen as the Ritenour School District 2006 Diamond Circle Teacher of the Year. Diamond Circle Awards are given to teachers and staff that best exemplify the ditrict's commitment to quality education and service. Linda has worked in the district for 26 years. Way to go, Linda!
