Professional Philosophy

Knowledge and the pursuit of truth are the cornerstones of a lifetime s education

I value the people I have in my life. All friendships, be they sustained over time or born of

recent, provide a foundation upon which I draw my energies and strength

People choose a career in higher education because of their passion for continual learning,

love of life, and the opportunity to serve as a developmental catalyst in the life of a student

You either make a difference or you get in the way. A professional s worth to a student

depends on their ability to make a difference whenever the opportunity arises

Believing in what can be done is stronger than believing in what has been done

For a team or group of like-minded individuals to accomplish their object, a powerful degree

of loyalty and trust must exist between them

The shortest path to goal attainment is often the best path

To reach your aspirations in life, one must work hard, be punctual, and treat people fairly and

with respect

Courage and success are not mutually exclusive. Without the acceptance of risk, possibility

of failure, and the evaluation of attempt, lasting success remains a figment of imagination
