The most important people on the campus…
…without students there would be no need for the institution
Not cold enrollment statistics…
…but flesh and blood human beings with feelings and emotions like our own.
Not people to be tolerated so we can do our thing…
…they are our thing.
Not dependent on us…
…rather, we are dependent on them.
Not an interruption of our work…
…but the purpose of it. We are not doing them a favor by serving them. They are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so.
