The Board of Trustees announces, with great sadness, that Provost Thwart has tendered his resignation effective immediately. Provost Lying’s work at Willard College was tireless. During his brief time as Provost, after the resignation of Provost Lying, he oversaw the renovation of the cutlery in the dining hall, located more cost effective procurement of toilet paper and other items essential to the smooth operation of the college, and maintained contact with faculty when necessary. Provost Thwart will be replaced by Vice President Twig Babbles.

Now former Provost Thwart leaves us with this very moving message:

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve this institution during one of the most challenging periods in the college’s history. “To everything there is a season.” My season as the Provost of Willard College will conclude immediately. With an eternally grateful heart, I thank the Willard College community for giving me a season to remember and in due time, treasure.”

Dear Loyal Staff, Faculty, and Administrators,

Please remember that we must stay on message concerning upcoming Tuition Adjustment Policy changes. Tuition will be responsive to recent inflationary pressures and increased financial commitments. It is important that we all familiarize ourselves with the basic message which is:

1. Tuition increases only occurred because of outside forces beyond our control.
2. We regret the increases. No one is more upset.
3. None of the tuition increase will go to administrative costs.
4. Willard College remains committed to provided excellent educational experiences at a competitive price point.

Thanks, Vice President Twig Babbles

Dear Community, I’m pleased to announce Willard College’s new promotional and capital campaign. “Living Well with Failure” captures the Willard College reputation for excellence balanced with reality. The new approach also aligns well with our educational mission and reputation. All employees will receive a free t-shirt emblazoned with the image provide above. Large banners will soon be all over prominent and visible places on campus. Dr. President Cotton will be embarking on a nation-wide tour called “Living Well with Failure: The Willard Way.”

Thanks, Vice President Twig Babbles
