The elevated rankings indicate that the hard work and team effort demonstrated by the administration has been recognized nationwide. That is an outstanding accomplishment. Now that the majority of Rodin's administration has been set, we encourage President Rodin to continue to improve the University. We have been impressed by her dedication to education, safety and improving relationships with the community. Her dedication seems to be paying off. The new rankings signal stronger academics at the University, and we hope the emphasis on teaching will continue. To the University community, we say congratulations. With any luck, we will be even better next time.
