Reflection Devoted to creating a better life for their
constituents, supporting economic growth and a responsible citizenry.
Institution addresses the lack of traditionally underserved student populations on their campus, but more attention should be given to non-traditional student populations (those out of high school).

“Our job is to empower others to reach their potential through life-long learning. When we do our
jobs well, the student benefits; that ripple effect ultimately manifests
itself in love of self, love of productivity (contributions through
work), and love of community (giving back and being included as
an essential part)” (M. Wilson, personal communication, October
5, 2012).
