“I always enjoy the opportunity to lend a hand to a fellow Centre Colonel. I know that I’m going to be connecting someone from my network with a bright, articulate, and thoughtful person. Centre continues to equip students with the same gifts that have stood me in good stead throughout my career. There’s just no substitute for strong critical thinking skills grounded in a world view that encourages optimism and service to others.”
