Member Spotlight

We know that engaging in research makes you a part of something bigger, something important, and it allows you to form relationships with peers and professors who are in this with you. Why wouldn’t we want students to experience this right as they enter college? -John Volin, Provost

So many students are engaged in work while they're going to school. How do we help those students get every bit that they can out of that experience? -Brandee Popaden-Smith, director Work+ Learn

We want students to realize they are more than their job. Their ultimate happiness, fulfillment, joy and ability to make the world a better place is much larger than their job titles. We aren’t just training students for a job; we are forming whole people, and we want them to feel confident in exploring these bigger questions. - Dr. Amy Crook, Vice President for Transformative Innovation, Character and Purpose
