As a university, we produce intellec- tual capital. We’re not in the business of producing widgets; we’re in the business of challenging minds and changing lives. And we need to do it well. When Millikin students leave here, we have equipped them intellectually so they can handle that fi rst job and successfully make the transition to the ones that may lie ahead. They are prepared for profes- sional success, democratic citizenship in a global environment and a personal life of meaning and value.
