inPractice WINTER | 2015 FROM THE EDITOR I find myself writing this letter and wondering where the year went. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating our largest graduating class, announcing our plans for a new campus and preparing to launch four new master's degree programs. But here we are, looking back at our 20142015 fiscal year and I am truly humbled by what we have accomplished. One of my favorite quotes by Jim Rohn sums up PA College perfectly: "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day." We're fortunate to have staff and faculty who are committed to our mission of providing excellent health care education and incorporating acts of learner-centeredness on a daily basis. As a result, the College is growing by leaps and bounds, now boasting more than 1,400 students, a variety of degree offerings, faculty who are doing great things in their field, and alumni who are making a difference in the health care community. New for this year, we are incorporating our Annual Report into a special issue of inPractice. Our hope is that you will join us in looking back at what we've accomplished and share in our excitement. As always, I welcome your feedback and look forward to telling the stories of our students, faculty and staff, and alumni in issues to come!
