Look what happens when people strive. These efforts to boost the number of minorities in research, medicine and the arts are successful because people cared to step forward and make a difference. And look at the community partnerships that help people in the communities we serve. Programs and institutions are only as successful as the people that staff them and run them. Every one can make a difference and every one must try.
Greatness comes to people who dare to be great.
I can do it. We need you. This is our time. Every day brings opportunities to make a difference. You can step up in the classroom, in the laboratory, on the hardwood, on the playing field, and make a difference.
