"I believe in offering our students a practical education that not only gives them the book knowledge, but also the real-world experience. I am big on students focusing on the little details, as this makes a huge difference in their life and career. I want them to be fully furnished when they leave UAGC to make a difference in their world. That is why my favorite day of the year is commencement because I get to see students walk across the stage to begin a new chapter in their career and their life. When I see them walk toward me, I think about the challenges they’ve gone through, going from one kind of person to the next. They are now ‘doctor,’ and I had an impact on that."
