Shepherd's 12th president, Dr. James A. Butcher, sat down today with our 17th president, Dr. Cam Wesson, to share stories, reflect on the University’s past, and look toward its future.

As one of Shepherd's longest-serving presidents, Dr. Butcher helped shape the University as we know it today. We’re so grateful for Dr. Butcher's best wishes as President Wesson begins this new chapter.

Here's to the legacy that brought us here and to the future that’s next! 🐏
