ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE As president of Armstrong State College, am asked that questioil — I often and my answer invariably depends on what prompted the query. | Yes, our academic programs are excellent. This fact shows best by hoy well our graduates do once they leave us. Today's world stresses jol readiness and career preparation and we place significant emphasis o assuring our graduates that they can compete with the best in the currer job market. Our graduates in fields such as health care and computer science generally have multiple job offers to consider. Health students consistently post passrates that exceed 95 percent on national licensing exams and elementary education graduates have earned 100 percent passrates on the Georgia Teacher Certification Test for the past seven years. Strong science and liberal arts programs produce excellent candidates for graduate study, pre-professional programs and today's job market. President RobertA. Burnett ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE Outstanding academic programs? Dedicated teaching faculty? Extensive student self-governance? Low student-faculty ratios? Close-knit, friendly atmosphere? A campus? beautiful Career-oriented educational preparation? Effective job placement programs? s it our faculty? Many proudly say that they came to Armstrong because hey love the stimulation of classroom teaching. We keep our class sizes small so students and faculty really get to know one another. like seeing I students and professors discussing today's lecture over a cup of coffee I spending time on a research project that has gone far beyond the classroom assignment. rhen, too, know that many students are very special. And we try to treat I hem in a special way. Armstrong has a commitment to encouraging student involvement in campus-wide decisions. There are not very many Dther schools that allow students to determine how to spend student activities fees and promote student representation on all campus-wide standing committees. Leadership opportunities are available to everyone /vho wants to develop these skills. n short, do not think that any one aspect distinguishes Armstrong State I College from any other campus. The way all of these distinguishing :actors blend together is what makes Armstrong State College what it s-~a college that cherishes its tradition of excellence while looking :orward to meeting the challenges of the future.
