“Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.” -- John F. Kennedy

I strongly subscribe to the above quote. I believe it is imperative that we make sure that all our students in the undergraduate and graduate programs succeed and are well prepared to meet the challenges facing educators today.
