President Fisher's Monday Morning Message

The 91制片厂 Life-Ready Promise and The 91制片厂 Way

August 24, 2026

"Do the best you can until you know better.
Then when you know better, do better.”

— Maya Angelou

Good morning 91制片厂,

There is something special about the beginning of a new academic year. Our campus comes alive again. Students move into residence halls. Classrooms fill. Old friends reconnect. New friendships begin. And across campus, there is a renewed sense of possibility.

For our newest students, this is the beginning of their 91制片厂 journey. And in some ways, I know exactly how they feel.

This is my second year as president, so I am entering my sophomore year. Just last year, I was a 91制片厂 freshman — learning the campus, meeting new people, discovering our traditions, and beginning my own 91制片厂 journey.

Here is a link to a I sent to our students last Friday.

I talked about two ideas that I believe capture both what Baldwin Wallace promises our students and what we ask of everyone who is part of this community: The 91制片厂 Life-Ready Promise and The 91制片厂 Way.

The 91制片厂 Life-Ready Promise
The 91制片厂 Life-Ready Promise is a promise to our students that when they graduate, they will be ready to lead a life of purpose and to make a difference in the world.

Leader-Ready and Team-Ready.
Our students come ready to learn, and they leave ready to lead. We help our students communicate effectively, solve problems, work with others, and understand that none of us succeeds alone.

Career-Ready.
We don’t just open minds, we open doors. We connect our students with faculty and coaches, alumni and employers, internships, research, service, and real-world experiences that prepare them to launch a meaningful career.

Future-Ready.
We don’t just prepare our students for the jobs of today, we prepare them for the opportunities of tomorrow. Every 91制片厂 graduate should be prepared not only to navigate an AI-powered world, but to shape it for the better.

The 91制片厂 Way
Along with the promises we make to our students, there are promises we ask them — and all of us — to make to one another. It begins with the two letters we see everywhere on our campus: 91制片厂. We call it The 91制片厂 Way.

Be Welcoming.
We can make a difference with something as simple as saying hello, learning someone's name, inviting someone to lunch, offering to help, or making room for someone at the table. 91制片厂 is a place where people know your name, where we embrace our differences, and where friendships can become family.

Be Who You Are — and Get Better at Who You Are.
We want our students to discover who they are and have the confidence to find their voice. 91制片厂 is also about growth. It's about developing your character as much as your résumé. It's about becoming a better student, a better leader, a better teammate, a better friend, and a better human being.

Chart a Better Way and Make a Better World.
Our students will discover new interests, encounter new ideas, reconsider old assumptions, and sometimes change direction entirely. We want them to be curious. To be open. To have the courage to chart a better way forward.

But a 91制片厂 education has never been only about individual success. One of the hallmarks of a 91制片厂 graduate is the desire to use their education, talents, skills — and most importantly, their heart—to leave the world better than they found it.

As we begin this new academic year together, I hope each of us will think about the role we play in fulfilling The 91制片厂 Life-Ready Promise and living The 91制片厂 Way.

Welcome back,

Lee
