Quote
of the day from Woodrow Wilson:
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable
the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope
and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself
if you forget the errand.
Practice L&N Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical
thinking, Design, Innovation, Inquiry, & Professionalism
