I’ve got a woman’s ability to stick to a job and get on with it when everyone else walks off and leaves it.
-Margaret Thatcher
When I was growing up in Seoul, Korea, every evening before dinner my dad always asked all four of us whether we had done anything worthwhile, something that would justify our eating the food set before us. That lesson helped me immensely later on in my life because it instilled a sense of purpose. I get excited about coming to work every day because I have a clear sense of where we are going as a school; we are dedicated to making the SoHE a pivotal part of the economic engine that drives the state of Wisconsin, while globally prominent. We want to become a compelling place for everyone to want to be a part of our future.
