"A great education will enable students to question and learn old ideas, create new, valuable ideas, and competently communicate those new ideas to others. When students develop the ability to effectively develop ideas AND effectively communicate those ideas, education has fulfilled its responsibility to the individual--and to society. Quality communication of mediocre ideas is valueless. Great ideas communicated in a mediocre manner simply and unfortunately die a quick death." Dr. Will Powers, 2001.
