"Rapid global changes demand that we be innovative and creative to stay ahead as leaders in our field. In education, we will open more pathways to allow our students to broaden, as well as better integrate, what they learn in their classes and to apply these to the workplace. Our science education must move students from merely acquiring knowledge to creating new knowledge, and from application to self-discovery and innovation."

Look for opportunities to challenge yourself.
