Volume 2, Number 3 (2006) Winter 2006

Linfield College will move into a new era when Dr. Thomas L. Hellie begins his tenure as president in April. In this issue, we offer a profile of him that includes some insight from people who have known him for many years. We also take a look at back at some of the presidents who preceded him. Ten Linfield students have received Fulbrights in the last six years. We asked four of them how those awards have changed their lives. Nursing students on the Portland Campus are getting realistic experiences thanks to “Mr. Sim Man,” a mannequin who can simulate a patient, and the new Simulation Lab on the Portland Campus. A collaborative research project explores the success of some century farms in Yamhill County and helps students gain a better understanding of local history. And off the field, Linfield athletes are also winning awards for academic achievements. We look forward to helping you get to know Dr. Hellie and his wife, Julie Olds, in the coming months and to continue sharing more stories about the people of Linfield College.
