Stauffer’s Role at Northwood —Vital Gary Stauffer is the co-founder and vice president of Northwood. He feels, like President Turner, that Northwood plays a vital part in the educational world. Northwood, says Stauffer, provides ‘“‘an opportunity for people to do something about education besides complaining about it.”’ Vice president Stauffer received his master’s degree in school administra- tion at the University of Michigan. While he was serving as associate director of admissions at Alma College, Stauffer and Turner decided that there was a need for a school which would promote the system of free enterprise so vital to our economy. Out of this hope Northwood was born, and is growing through the guidance of men such as Gary Stauffer.
