Dr. Drew Gilpin Faust, the first female president of Harvard University: "Higher education is not about making a living; it’s about making a life." ?? Dolores Huerta, civil rights activist and education advocate: "Education is the gateway to opportunity. It is the key to unlocking potential and building a better future."
