Message From the Director
Dr. Darrell L. Ross, Professor & Director, The School of LEJA
Whether you are a returning student or new to Western and LEJA, I welcome you to the campus. LEJA has converted to School status effective July 1, 2009. Achieving such status places LEJA among the leader on campus and recognizes the growth and success of this program over the last 40 years. This year LEJA will be celebrating its 40 th anniversary and several activities are planned.
As Director of the School I encourage you to be proactive in “your” education and persevere in your educational endeavors. Faculty have been working hard over the summer to design their courses in order for you to maximize your learning. While the faculty are committed to delivering you with the best course possible it is up to you to be diligent in your studies and to achieve you educational goals. The School is committed to assisting you in achieving your goals but you must stay focused, hit the books, attend class, and work hard in order to be successful.
As you enter this academic year, I would encourage you to not lose sight of your goals and to strive to meet every challenge by remembering that goal attainment is underscored through diligent hard work. I trust that all of you will have a rewarding year and we look forward to assisting you in your educational pursuits.
