Statistical Overview
We’re proud to say that everything we do is from funding that is [95% internally generated]. Facility improvement and construction, team salaries, social and educational programming ... it’s all created from funding that originates from the use of our buildings... not from tax dollars, not from other university resources. Our most important resources though are people ... people on our team and the people we serve.
Our students and team members come together from all over the world and have a wide-variety of backgrounds, life stories, skills, and interests that help to make up our community. We’re big on community by the way.
