Letter from President Les Purce

evergreen president les purce

As you make important decisions about your future, both in terms of education and the directions you dream your life will take, I hope you will seriously consider The Evergreen State College as a step along that pathway. We are committed to and actively work to build a community that embraces diversity, multiculturalism and student development. Our First Peoples programs reflect the innovative and creative ways in which we approach learning that integrates education with life's experiences in the hope that our students develop a passion for lifelong learning.

I hope that you will find within these pages insight into the type of community we are and understanding of the ways in which you could contribute to and benefit from becoming a member of this community.

I extend my best wishes to you and hope that I will have the opportunity to see you on our campus.

Thomas L. (Les) Purce, President
