First Alumna on Board of Trustees

I first knew I wanted to attend Franklin College in the fall of 1972, when I received a postcard from my brother, who was there as a freshman. The postcard was a typical Lugano card of the lago -- mountains in the distance and palm trees in the foreground and I remember thinking, “This is for me!” I had been in an all-girls boarding school for 4 years in the hinterlands of Massachusetts and was ready for an adventure.

Letter From a Trustee

Thank you for the opportunity to express some thoughts about Franklin College and its mission. It is always a pleasure to share my Franklin experience.

My dedication to Franklin has roots in its predecessor, the "TASIS Post-Graduate Program". In 1964-65 I enrolled in that awesome educational program as a 17 year-old. That program was not financially successful and became Fleming College. My favorite teacher was Theo Brenner, who, along with four others including Dave Mellon, Pat Tone, Wil Geens and Jacques Villaret started Franklin College in reaction to Mrs. Fleming's firing of Dave Mellon as President of Fleming College. Yes, Franklin College, like America itself, was birthed by a revolution!
