Faculty Quote:
"As educators, we need to be willing to examine the possibilities and perils presented by an inescapable, ever-changing technological landscape. I suggest that, in the end, willingness is exactly the habit we wish to foster in our students; fundamentally active in nature, it is the antidote to detachment and complacency. It is the willingness to explore, investigate, and solve problems that opens the doors to a lifetime of learning, enthusiasm, and genuine engagement."
