The President Wesleyan Gets a New President When school began for the 1985-1986 year, students found a new face in the office of the Presi¬ dent. Dr. Robert K. Ackerman was inaugurated as Wesleyan’s 22nd President in October. Dr. Ackerman was born in South Carolina and served as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Drew University for nine years before assuming his present position. He is married to the former May Morgan; they have three children, Mark, Roxanne, and Bettye. Dr. Ackerman came to Wesleyan with many plans because he believes in a liberal arts educa¬ tion and the future of women’s colleges. He feels that Wesleyan is in the forefront of providing a total education for “The New Woman in the South.’ 16 President Ackerman 3

This campus-wide attitude of caring challenges as well as supports, encourages, and sympathizes. It accepts in¬ dividuals as they are and always expects their best. The family bonds are felt in many ways through administrators dining with students, conferences with faculty advisors, and faculty involve¬ ment in student events. Tate Hall, made possible by a gift from the late Colonel Sam Tate , contains classrooms for the English, history, foreign language, religion, business, and education departments. Located nearby, Taylor Hall houses labs and classrooms for chemistry, biology, physics, psychology, sociology, and math. Taylor also has a large amphitheatre for movies and group meetings.
