Mystery Quotation
Can you guess the origin of the following quotation?
| Health administrators today live in a world of change,
and education for our field must change to keep pace with it. The new
Curriculum changes may appear complex at first, but keep in mind that
your HA advisers will be prepared to work with each student to insure
that he/she obtains the maximum value from them with minimum difficulties. |
A handout on the quarter-semester conversion, perhaps? No, a handout from over
a decade ago--April 23, 1990!
Throughout its history, dating back some 30 years as of Fall 2001, the Health
Administration Program has continually "reinvented" itself to better meet changing
health care needs and better serve the career goals of its students. And we'll
continue to do so in the future.
