Today, we take the opportunity to recognize and say, "Thank you," to a person who for the past fourteen years has been the driving force in advancing The Mission of Student Agencies. Dan Kathan ('70 MBA '73) is retiring from his role as CEO of Student Agencies, Inc. For a generation of Student Agencies' officers and managers, Dan has been an effective teacher and a caring mentor. In addition, for many of those students, Dan has also been a life coach and a second father. There have been few people in Student Agencies' history, who have better embodied our ideals, goals, and mission.

Fortunately, for all of us, Dan is not going very far. He will assume the newly created position of Managing Director with the Student Agencies Foundation ("SAF"). In his new role, Dan will work for the Trustees of SAF in our efforts to advance The Mission. Personally, as the new President of SAF, I could not imagine a more perfect partner to help with these efforts.

Please visit Dan's note in this newsletter for his personal thoughts on his retirement. Please also visit Nathaniel Weiss' note for details regarding our search for Dan's replacement at SAI.

Sincerely,

Michael Karangelen '90

President

Student Agencies Foundation, Inc
