We have been impacted by Chop’s vision for Menlo College, which he described in the Menlo Advantage, as “a stimulating place for scholars of the modern idea set—Silicon Valley thinking,” and “that place where young scholars will grasp the borderless nature of today’s business.” We’ve been touched by his boundless optimism, his enthusiasm, and his unfailing certainty that Menlo College will achieve prominence in the world of academia. As Chop departs, he leaves directives described in the Menlo Advantage two years into his service on the board: “Menlo College needs our alumni and friends to invest in its future...in short, the road ahead—and our destiny— is in your hands.” Chop’s steadfast belief in Menlo College will inspire generations of Oaks to come. We extend him a heartfelt thank you.
