I was just reminded by three well-spoken Poly seniors what wonderful, challenging and broadening experiences they had as part of the Global Initiatives Program. These and other unique opportunities are the things that make a Poly education such excellent preparation for college and far beyond. My confidence in tomorrow's leaders grows whenever I get to visit the campus.
