There are various areas in the state where students don't have good access to higher education.

If we're going to have access to higher education in the state, there will have to be more branches of already existing campuses or new campuses.

It is a necessity if our objective is to provide higher quality education. It's not uncommon that a very good student has to go away to Orlando or South Florida.

The very best teachers do not teach their students - they enchant them with the wonder of learning that will last a lifetime.

Great teachers do not just know their subject - they love it. They do not just pass on knowledge - they pass on wonder. They do not just spend time teaching - they invest themselves into every student. They do not just improve results - they transform the imagination of those they teach.

A thousand people move to Florida each day. Four hundred people leave each day, giving us a net increase of 600 a day. That is right now.
