equipment or classroom materials, while other gifts take longer to be
appreciated, as in the case of faculty research or student
scholarships. Either way, the impact of “enlightening” education is
immeasurably valuable. Let your light blaze for this generation and
the ones to come. To join 321 of your colleagues who are
Torchbearers,
