JIrestbent JBethmler: ©fye Posittfre ApprnacI] to ptfe Richard Detweiler has provided EMC with an active, involved presidency. This summer after a seven year presidency, President Detwei- ler will be succeeded by president — elect Joseph Lapp. He will then continue working in Harrisonburg as in- terim pastor of Harrisonburg Mennonite Church. Later he plans to work in pastoral train- ing programs. Although his talents will be appreciated in these new en- deavors, his presence will be missed at Eastern Mennonite College. The EMC campus has enjoyed President Detweiler's sense of humor, his obvious interest in student affairs, and the positive approach he brings to life. His witty chapels have kept students inspired to continue working amidst all kinds of doldrums. Yet behind the clever puns, and insightful jokes, is a deep sense of spiri- tuality. At a time when many students are searching for a way , the sense that President Detweiler conveys that God indeed walks with us is in- credibly comforting. As well as contributing to the life of the campus and to the lives of EMC students, President Detweiler has learned from the students.This contact with students that President Detweiler has experienced will be one of the things missed when he leaves EMC. Yet new oppurtunites are also exciting, and President Detweiler looks forward to the years ahead with the same positive approach to life that has made his presidency here so successful.
