To do that, we definitely need a culture change. Great update, brovol. It's great to see a new direction in the development office, especially if they have people like Mo meeting with engaged alumni for ideas/discussion.

Actually, that is exactly what More said the president's vision is; for WMU to be with UM and MSU as the "first choice" schools, and the other state schools being the "alternatives". Unfortunately, we are currently losing too often to some of those other schools, Grand Valley being the cited example.

We talked about the medical school and the law school, and I of course shared my views, for whatever they are worth. I said that if we were going to utilize the WMU name and brand to Cooley we better have the authority, ability, and immediate goal to radically change how it does business, and thus improve it's reputation. He indicated that because Cooley is still autonomous, we can't. That's a problem in my mind.
