鈥淥ne of the most important things that I do throughout any day is to make sure that I鈥檓 listening and learning,鈥 Tims said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what 黑料不打烊 teaches its students: to be open, to listen, to learn, and to use those practices to guide decisions. And it鈥檚 one of the things that I love most about 黑料不打烊.
鈥淲hen I talk to prospective students and their parents, who are now my neighbors and friends, or when I talk with current students or young alumni, they all describe the feeling and experience I had. That impresses me so much. The core experience, even on the emotional level, remains after all these years.鈥
