Um, but what we wanna learn is, you know, for people, like, I did not know that New York Institute of Technology was at, uh, at Arkansas State University, so I just wanna kinda learn a little bit more about what you do and, and, um, and, uh, how you do it.

Yeah.

So the New York relationship is kinda interesting.

I'm, I'm gonna go back a little bit.

For 130 years, there was only one medical school in the entire state of Arkansas, and about 15 years ago, some of the leaders at Arkansas State University and the Northeast Arkansas Medical Community, and with the Arkansas, the Jonesboro Chamber, some community leaders here, they became resolved to fix that.

And what they found was, as a public institution, Arkansas State University, the appetite to spend public money to open another public medical school just didn't exist.

Um, but so what...

And then how, how are you guys, uh, helping to introdu- I, I know you deal with the alumni relations quite a bit, and so how, how are you guys helping to introduce students to opportunities in the region here?
