As the new term is beginning, we in the ivory tower are graciously allowed to reinvent ourselves. A future bright as we can make it.

Our dreams and visions fly far outside the realms of assessment and roll calls.

The world of the spirit is exquisite and at our fingertips.

Creativity is the joy that we feel when we invent.  The world is our oyster.

Let’s go into 2014 with a courageous heart.
