Working in higher education is a two-way street. Professors influence students, but students also touch those of us who teach.
Caleb Dillinger may be one of the most remarkable students I’ve met at OVU. In his recent blog, he wrote,
I am fully convicted that education shapes you more than most things in life. Education transforms your thought process, giving you new filters to see the world through.
He goes on to give a testimony for education. If you wonder what education does or if someone you care about seems unaware of the benefits of education, read Caleb’s blog. He may influence you as much as he has me.

People who argue that college is worth it contend that college graduates have higher employment rates, bigger salaries, and more work benefits than high school graduates. They say college graduates also have better interpersonal skills, live longer, have healthier children, and have proven their ability to achieve a major milestone.
