QUOTABLES:

“How do we make it possible for every student to be able to write their own stories? And one of the ways that we have to do that is by thinking about what's the experience the students like, and all students need to feel at home. And that’s what drives me.”

“As part of our historical narrative, Coe has always been that kind of place that is accessible, and this is pushing Coe to be more accessible and open to more populations than it has historically been.”
