Book Review: Let’s Get Started

By Dr. Thomas H. Langevin

In his latest work, Dr. Thomas H. Langevin shares his memoirs in his autobiography, Let’s Get Started. Describing his motivation to write this book, Dr. Langevin stated that, “The primary purpose in writing this book is to share my lifetime of memories, which explains why my christian life was one worth living. As written, I have spent most of my adult life creating and developing various innovative projects, curricula, and programs. Thus the title, ‘Let’s Get Started – A Lifetime of Innovative Leadership.’ “

Dr. Langevin commands an experienced history, one that has been devoted to public and academic service. As a young man, Dr. Langevin served in the United States Coast Guard between 1942 and 1945. Years later, he would assume the title Acting President and Dean of Concorida College in Steward, Nebraska between 1962 and 1963. This acting presidency would prepare him to assume the role of President of Capital University in Columbus Ohio between 1969 and 1979. 

Dr. Langevin’s service to higher education continued, and in 1989 he served as the first President of Teikyo Loretta Heights College in Denver Colorado. In 1990, Dr. Langevin served as the Assistant to the President of Chapman University in Orange County, California. Finally, in 2003, Dr. Langevin assumed the role of Chairman of The Registry for College and University Presidents, which he founded in 1992.

“My father said, “Tommy, you were free enough to be in charge of what you did. You chose to do what you did and that makes you responsible for it.” He told me to remember that the actions I take make me responsible for them. One demands the other. Somehow, he was able to explain that to me in words I understood.”
