Bret Murphy, M.Ed.
Dean of Applied Science

 

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. " — Calvin Coolidge 30th President

 

A quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
