Quote of the day from Thomas Edison:

I will not say I failed 1000 times.  I will say that I discovered there are 1000 ways that can cause failure --

From your Administrative team, faculty, and staff of the L&N – have a great, relaxing, and restful summer.  We’ll see you at the social movie nights and technology orientations over the summer!
