A thank you note from Dr. Dottie Shuman
I was so honored to receive the Professor of the Decade award during the spring and fall graduations. As most of you know, I have loved and continue to love teaching at Montreat College. Since this honor came from you, the alumni, I wanted you to thank you for being interested and committed learners. You made my time in the classroom easy. And, most of all, I enjoyed the personal connections I made with each of you, either through deep discussions in my office, time in the field, at the Christmas cookie party or while I supported you on the field and court. I see you each as “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139).

You are the reason that I could succeed, so for that, I say THANK YOU!
Announcing a Program Change!
We wanted to update you on a recent program change! We are happy to say that the Montreat College executive committee and faculty approved the re-merger of the Outdoor Education and Outdoor Ministry majors to create the new and improved Outdoor Recreation Studies (ORS) program!
