'In my first year as advocate, in collaboration with William McQuitty from Office of Institutional Research, we were able to increase our ranking from 250th to 116th nationally and a top 5 school when compared to schools ranked in Michigan. This is a significant increase within the ranking, but there is still much work to be done.鈥
