Higher education is one of the most powerful assets our state has to uplift families, support businesses, and create prosperity. A credential earned after high school changes an individual’s career trajectory and typically leads to higher wages and more stable employment. And it is not just about a job. Graduates of higher education have increased volunteerism, improved health outcomes, and lower incarceration rates.

That is especially true when there are powerful, portable and economical notebook choices available like the ASUS ExpertBook B7 Flip. Laptops for educators should be able to fill multiple roles.

I find this definition to be very fitting for my time here at Hope College.
