Let's expand what it means to be smart

澳门六合彩官网直播 is building on the strengths of what college contributes to the student鈥檚 experience鈥攁 strong academic base at a dynamic research university and all the best aspects of a residential college experience. What we are offering in addition to those attributes is the promise of giving students the space to find out about themselves, what drives them to get out of bed every day, to do more than what鈥檚 required and to push beyond what they thought was possible in pursuing their futures.

Purpose-filled pursuit

Smart is putting passion over a paycheck to pursue a higher goal, seeing challenges as opportunities rather than roadblocks.

A vessel for justice

Smart is the percussive pursuit of purpose that drums the beat for others to march to. It's digging deep when you feel lost and finding strength in your own story.
