So explain to maybe people that don't understand how do you get by on a state budget versus how do you take a gift of a million dollars from the miracle writers and how does how's that transformational how's that what's the difference there why should we give CSU a million dollars

sure so I can think of several reasons why I'm going to start with what I think is probably one of the most important reasons and really it's the impact on our students lives so make a difference in a child's life.

We need to get away on our campus from calling them children because most of them are 18 or above.

So we say make a difference in a student's life.

This is transformational for these students when they come here.

And the Miracle Riders have invested, and I think of this as an investment.

They have invested in our nursing students in a way that is paying dividends throughout our community in other communities.

But this has been a good ride.
