Together, we make change.Barbara MikulskiAt Franklin University, we recognize the value of collaboration and have embraced partnerships asa way to meet learners where they are. From community college graduates who matriculate through the Pathway Portal, or working adults who connect via employers and professional organizations that partner with the University to develop the highly skilled workforce thats critical to long-term success, each of these students embody the power of change. Not only have they deviated from the traditionally prescribed path to a degree, they are equipped with newfound knowledge and skills to innovate inthe workplace. In the spirit of collaboration, Im asking you to partner with the University by reaching back to help someone on the path youve already conquered. If you can help by personally recommending Franklin to someone considering earning a degree or by contributing to one of the scholarships available to ease students financial challenges, you can be an agent of change too.As you read this years Clocktower magazine, I hope you feel a sense of pride in what your alma mater and fellow alumni are doing to make an impact.
