Meet the Deans Dean Krahenbuhl's Welcome Assoc. Dean Gutierrez's Welcome Assoc. Dean Sommerfeld's Welcome Assoc. The health of a society is revealed by its investment priorities.
Healthy societies are optimistic about, and willing to invest in the future - for the long term.
Few major institutions in society are better suited for, or more important over the long term, than universities. Their approach is deliberate, their benefits are lasting.
