WHY WE DO IT
We firmly believe that a more educated society is a silver bullet solution to economic, social, and environmental challenges. Too many approaches are “out of the box” and fail to account for an institution’s budget, internal readiness, unique student and faculty needs, and current state of technology. We believe each school should be given the resources and opportunities for their faculty, students and programs to fully realize their potential.
