“From the Florida panhandle to Pennsylvania, you are all changing the world in so many ways. When your students speak of their experiences pursuing degrees and certificates, they ALWAYS speak of you – their instructors, administrators, advisors, and all the people who believed in them.

You are each providing your students with skills, knowledge, education, and experience – but you are also giving them something that cannot be measured in test scores and school ratings. You are giving them HOPE.”
