As for Bennett’s future, Cole is optimistic.
“There is nothing needed here that money won’t buy,” she says, hinting at central air conditioning for residence halls.
As for Cole’s successor, Williams thinks the job should go to someone who has some national recognition, is a strong but empathic leader, possesses a vision for education in the 21st century and understands the needs of the population Bennett serves.
“She is out there, and we hope she will come to Bennett in 2007,” Cole says.
