"I thank outgoing Board Chair Kathleen Hannon Aikenhead for her remarkable contributions. Her leadership and philanthropic legacies will benefit generations of future LMU students. Consistent with Kathy's practice, I will continue to partner with President Snyder and the university community as we educate women and men, with and for others."
