President Katrina Rogers looks back at Fielding’s accomplishments during a year that saw many natural, political, and social challenges—and shares exciting plans for the university’s future.

Transcript below:
As always, each year brings its own challenges. We live in a time when big forces, such as globalization and technology innovation, are impacting the ways we live our lives every day.

At Fielding, our vision is to continue to live into this rapidly changing present by doing what we do best: delivering on our promise to our students and graduates to provide an outstanding educational experience so they are prepared for their road ahead—whether that is as psychologist, organizational leader, or educator.

This year, we have started an inclusion council collaborative with students and alumni to focus on making the student experience more diverse and inclusive; hired new faculty across the university; and added a master’s program in infant and early childhood development. We had growing participation of alumni and students at events throughout the year, and anticipate a record number of alumni at Santa Barbara winter session. These activities show that Fielding faculty and staff are committed to the success of our students and alumni.

As we look ahead to 2018, Fielding is on our own course of change and challenge. We are adding programs this year—in clinical mental health counseling and supervision, marriage/couples and family therapy, a doctoral completion program, and academic leadership development for women in STEM professions.

As we enter the New Year, I’d like to leave you with this thought. While the world may seem a perilous place at times, it has always been thus. My grandfather, born in 1883, saw in his lifetime the rise of the automobile, air travel, two world wars, the cold war, nuclear proliferation, and so on. It’s never been easy to be a human being. As a collective, Fielding community members have extraordinary capabilities to use our learning and experience to be part of the change that is needed in this world. Go forth and do so! As I visit with you all in the New Year, I look forward to hearing your stories. Love and peace to you all, your families, and communities. May 2018 bring good things.
