Dreams can grab us and move us. They are capable of lifting us to new heights and overcoming self-imposed limitations. A dream can be an expression of optimism, hope, and values lofty enough to capture the imagination and engage the spirit. Dreaming of how things can be better can raise new questions and endless possibilities. The creativity of dreams can help you regard old problems from a new perspective.
Dreams are indeed the seedlings of reality.
Success comes when you decide to live the possibilities of your dreams. The challenge facing the Colorado College community, staff and students alike, is to weave together needs of the individual while at the same time to build a sense of community, to foster a climate that enhances opportunities for success and to allow dreams to happen. It is a challenge that I feel CC has met in the past and will continue to meet in the future. It is the essence of the CC experience. On behalf of Neal, Lori and myself, thank you again for the wonderful honor you have bestowed on us.
