Meet Ruth Simmons, President of Brown University

I had the great pleasure of spending a couple of days on the Brown University campus last week. Among other things, I learned about the enormous respect and affection Brown students have for their President, Ruth Simmons. Then yesterday, someone sent me this link with the memo "Another Reason to Go to Brown." (Current high school seniors have until May 1 to decide where they will go next year.) Another reason to go to Brown? Perhaps. But I'd rather call this inspiring video snippet "another reason to dream big and believe in yourself."
