An institution of higher education is not only defined by its programs and facilities, but also by its people. From the faculty who stay long after office hours to help students to the alumni who volunteer their time and talents to their alma mater, five, 10 or even 50 years after they turned their tassel at commencement, the impact these individuals make outside the college or university is equally important.
