Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst presented the award to Schall, recognizing his “phenomenal” and “great tenure” at Â鶹ɫÇ鯬. Schall is stepping down at the end of June, after 15 years at Â鶹ɫÇ鯬.

“Thank you so much for your friendship and for your leadership,” said Mayor Ernst.”[Â鶹ɫÇ鯬] brings so much to the city—so much life and vitality. You can’t be a great city unless you have a university—and you can’t be a fabulous city without a fabulous university. And that is Â鶹ɫÇ鯬.”

Councilwoman Linley Jones added, “You have done such a marvelous job at Â鶹ɫÇ鯬 in creating a vibrant, diverse student body that is such a wonderful contribution to the City of Brookhaven. Thank you for all you’ve done for the City.”

“Thank you, all. It’s been terrific,” said President Schall in response. “It’s been a fabulous 15 years here and part of our success is just the extraordinary partnership we’ve had with all of you [at City of Brookhaven].”

“Â鶹ɫÇ鯬’s in great shape,” he continued. “When I came, we had 160 students in the freshman class and this year we’ll have about 450, the biggest class ever.”
