5 Reasons why President Finnegan is the best thing that has happpened to Longwood




5. Well first of all he is just an over all good,decent man (looks included).




4. In order to increase the spirit at Longwood along with getting our name out there more, he proposed that every Friday students should wear a Longwood shirt. (GREAT idea! Why didn't we think of that?). So wear your Longwood shirt on Friday along with your Longwood pride!




3. He doesn't act like he is superior to us, and he has FUN! (Who would have thought that someone in such a professional position as "the President" ->insert OOOs and Ahhhs here<- could have fun? 2 examples: he participated in Color War AND he is dressing up for halloween.




2. He desires to know us students and not simply rule over us. President Finnegan has mentioned that if we see him walking around campus we should stop him and introduce ourselves and say hi. He WANTs us to stop him. Plus he takes the Board of Visitors to Dhall to eat lunch every now and then and he actually sits with the students! He also visits classrooms when he has the time just to sayhi and see whats going on. What other President at Longwood has done that?




1. His vision for Longwood is pure, strong, and you can actually see it already in working motion! This vision is not simply for the economic benefit of LU, but rather it is concerned more with students. The student body has more spirit and pride via events such as "The GAME" already!




So show support for your President in any way you can think of! He is the best thing that has happened to Longwood in a long time! Appreciate! :D

What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
What is the last thing that you think about before going to sleep?
Schoolwork? Significant others? The future? Food? Money?
The first and last things thought about throughout the day are usually the aspects of life that are held in the highest regard; the most important. So what are you holding at the top of your priority list?
In what do you find truth?
When do you see good?
Where do you find beauty?

Truth is objective, goodness is a perspective, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

" To many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things the don't want, to impress people they don't like." ~Will Rogers
