A Pirate's Life For Me
“Contrary to conventional wisdom, pirate life was orderly and honest.” ~ Peter Leeson

Pathway for Hope
When people are denied an opportunity to achieve their potential, they act out of desperation. They turn against societal norms to find a way to survive in the absence of opportunities. When we close our minds, doors, and borders, we only hurt ourselves.

Closer Than They Appear
Students’ higher education dreams are closer than they think. We tend to waste opportunities by looking back at what could have been. Dreams, like fires, take a little work to get going, they need someone to fan the flames and protect them from the wind, but once the embers begin to burn, the fire is hard to put out.

How You Finish
Institutions need to revisit their mission and really ask themselves, why. Why do they exist? But most importantly, how do we continue to meet the needs of students and society when what we have always done is not possible right now? Now is the time for institutions to rethink how to deliver effectively deliver education that provides opportunities for all students who face an unknown future.

When It Means Something
“If you challenge the conventional wisdom, you will find ways to do things much better than they are currently done.” ~ Michael Lewis
