SASS director Tom Webb
As the academic year nears its end and McDaniel says goodbye to its graduating seniors, we must also offer out a bittersweet farewell to Tom Webb, the Director of Student Academic Support Services (SASS).
A friendly, helpful, and stand-out member of the McDaniel community, Webb and his amiable charisma will surely be missed on campus come next fall.
Although sad to leave, Webb was enthusiastic about the memories he cherishes from his time at the college. He says his favorite memory “unquestionably, would be the two SASS Jan-term trips to Budapest. Watching the Jan-term students grow emotionally and socially. Witnessing these same students pushing themselves well beyond their comfort zones and then to realize the rewards of taking such risks, was as they say, ‘priceless.’”
As Webb moves on to his future at the University of Delaware, he will always have a place in his heart for the McDaniel community.
Upon being asked what he thinks the biggest challenge the college faces ahead, Webb responded that “McDaniel will be challenged with controlled growth and remaining competitive while still keeping the personal ‘changing lives’ style it has always practiced. It’s a delicate balancing act, but I am certain that McDaniel’s committed faculty and staff can continue to maintain its person centered approach.”
On behalf of all students, faculty, and the Free Press, we wish Mr. Webb the best of luck in his future endeavors and will miss him next year.
