About
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
–John Muir, Our National Parks, 1901
Departments
The link between leadership and learning is not only essential at the community level. It is even more indispensable in world affairs.
–JOHN F. KENNEDY, 1963
Academics
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
–JOHN F. KENNEDY, 1961
Arts
The arts, quite simply, nourish the soul. They sustain, comfort, inspire. They make our lives richer, more compassionate, more fulfilled.
–E. GORDON GEE, 2015
