Just the Facts Brochure 2019-20 JUST THE FACTS 2019-20 GOING BEYOND EXPECTATIONS Numbers matter. They allow us to quantify progress. They show movement toward goals, effectiveness of strategic efforts and impact of investments. Numbers paint a clear picture of success. Stetson’s picture of success is quite impressive, but is incomplete without considering what is not easily captured by analytics. Beyond success, you will find students, faculty and staff striving to make a difference as we look ahead. United by the desire to make a better future, we venture forward as a diverse and inclusive community, striving for success, transformation and impact in all we do.
