There are a number of initiatives now that allow us to take curriculum based resources and help the environment, get involved with partnerships and help meet specific needs of people.

It is all about strategic positioning and competition.

I don't think that the college has gained more diversity because of our change. It certainly is an issue but I feel that it is separate and distinct.
