“It’s really a critical time for all of the programs in the US right now. As a faculty member living through that change... the support of industry and the support of individuals is going to be critical in helping to sustain and change and grow these programs.”

“Since we are such an integral piece in supporting [the P.E.] curriculum and auditing the material, we need to have the support of the Foundation to be able to do that, and the Foundation gets its support from its members who feel strongly about it like I do.”
