The Rose Years President Linwood H. Rose wraps up his 14-year term On Dec. 8, 2010, President Linwood H. Rose announced that he would step down from his presidency in June 2012. During his final year, he sat down with Port and Main Editor-in-Chief Rachel Dozier to talk about his time as president and the impact the university made on his life. This Q A is reprinted from the fall 2011 issue of the magazine. What has been your greatest accomplishment as president? Alt ' s tough because I really think it ' s an accumulated body of work; it ' s not just one thing. But one is, at a time when we were grow- ing rapidly, when we were hiring people from many diverse backgrounds, it would have been easy to lose our way, to lose our identity, to have the thread that has linked us and our commitment to students unravel. And that hasn ' t happened. We remained true to our mission. The second is that, as we have grown, our student satisfaction ratings have improved. Many people have been fearful along the way that we should stop the enrollment where it was at the time for fear that we would lose that identity. Not only have we not lost it, but I think it ' s stronger now than it ' s ever been. I ' m much more proud of that than I am [of] the buildings or the size of the budget. Are there any hidden treasures at this school you think people should know about? If you look at the backside of Gibbons Dining Hall, there is a walkway that goes over the loading dock and there is a pretty massive bluestone staircase that seems to go nowhere. And that was apparently designed as the first piece of a pedestrian bridge that conceivably would have gone across the campus to approximately where White Hall is right now, so merging the Valley between here and the interstate. That never happened. It was never funded and I don ' t mean to offend whoever wanted to do that, but I think it would have been pretty ugly What is JMU ' s biggest contribution? In a word it ' s our graduates. It ' s not so much the institution as a physical entity. It ' s the students that go through this collegiate experience and leave hopefully as better people, prepared to come to grips with the problems that are out there. I don ' t have any doubt that that sense of contribution is just going to be magnified in the future. How would you describe a JMU student to someone who didn ' t know anyone from the school? It ' s probably not fair to completely stereotype all JMU students as one, but I think if one were to generalize, I think our students tend to be engaged and involved beyond just their classroom experience. They are involved in university activities, often leading in one or two. I think our students tend to have a perception of the world around them that suggests they have a role or a place and, in fact, an obligation to try to make things better. I ' m told by employers of our students that one of the things that they like about our graduates is that they ' re ready to come to work to make a difference. They don ' t feel entitled to suddenly be the vice president of a unit, but instead are ready to work and have their achievements speak for themselves. What is your fondest memory on this campus? If I can, I ' ll give you two. I think achieving Phi Beta Kappa [the nation ' s oldest academic honors society] was maybe something that didn ' t touch a lot of people but it was a really significant achievement for the university, so that would be my academic item. In terms of athletics and student life, I think the 2004 National Championship was pretty exciting. We were playing away games in every playoff game. We were never at home and so we were the underdog in every game and won them all. Features
