I believe that every student at AU has the ability to achieve their goals. It is the duty of the faculty to remind students of their potential and assist them in fulfilling it. I often tell my students that I want them all to earn A's in my classes, and that if they work hard enough, they can. It is my hope that they carry this message with them when they leave AU to become doctors, nurses, teachers, or anything else they desire.
