As more people question the value of higher education, I believe those of us who have experienced the transformative impact of a college degree, and those of us who are working to advance and sustain the opportunities provided by a higher education need to continue to explain why it matters more than ever. A William & Mary education, in particular, can change forever the trajectory of a family, a nation, and the world. Here are some reflections I shared with our Tribe on how we are building a better tomorrow at the Alma Mater of the Nation. https://lnkd.in/esexYSUv
