“Higher education is the building block of a knowledge and technology-based society. Without higher education, we wouldn’t have the capacity as a society to do the things we do today."

Dean of The College Of Liberal Arts at Auburn University

“I have had so many great opportunities since coming to South just last fall, and I know that doors will continue to open throughout my journey because of the people who fight for a greater higher education system. We are the future, and we have a vision!”

“I want to be a nurse because it combines my two favorite things: science and people. I love that I get to apply the knowledge I’ve learned in college, but mostly I’m excited to make a difference in people's lives every day."

“At the University of North Alabama, we are a big proponent of research. Without higher education and the focus on funding, we wouldn’t have the funds to promote [research]. Especially with STEM-related majors, it definitely helps elevate the quality of education that students get."

"I think the number one way to serve students in Alabama is being active and involved with schools. There is always a way for someone to give back, and it doesn't have to be by writing a huge check.”
