"At 1688¿ª½±Íø, we are working to create a university that has never existed before. Is that a bold proposition? Absolutely. But our nation, communities and industries need people who dare boldly enough to make a difference," Shannon said. "And with our rich history of producing agile-minded leaders, 1688¿ª½±Íø is uniquely equipped and prepared to lead from the front.”
