"As we embark upon our second century, we must elevate our thinking from big to bold. We must work tirelessly to open our doors to those seeking knowledge and life-changing opportunity. We must be courageous in our endeavors to find creative and unique solutions to worldwide problems, while standing at the forefront of discovery and innovation. We must look beyond the horizon, always in pursuit of making the impossible, possible."
