University courses at Susquehanna University

Jay Lemons has been president of Susquehanna University, a national liberal arts college enrolling approximately 1,900 undergraduates, since February 2001. He has led the university in development of a new strategic plan emphasizing increased intellectual engagement and stronger community as the institution also successfully underwent a 2004 ten-year accreditation review by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. He has guided enrollment growth from 1,682 students in 2000 to a record 1,930 students in fall 2004, who are also among the strongest in the school's history.

Dr. Lemons is deeply committed to a broad-based, liberal arts education and believes there is no better preparation for civic leadership than through the liberal arts experience. He is an enthusiastic advocate of community service and a proponent of partnerships between the University and elementary and secondary schools, particularly those that will result in greater student diversity on campus. Other topics of particular interest are the continuing affordability of college and collaborative approaches to planning and decision-making. He regularly invites Susquehanna students to join him for lunch to share views and perspectives about their college experience.
