Research is the process of discovery, and in this sense it is a creative act. It is guided by questions, shaped by evidence, and concludes with the sharing of one’s findings.

Student Support

Nobody goes it alone, and no matter the kind of support you need, we are here to help you realize your goals. 

Financial Aid

We assist students who, without financial assistance, would be unable to attend college. Last year alone, we awarded $43 million in financial aid to our students.
