I think one of the best parts of working in education is the chance to start anew which each school year. As the leaves on campus change from green to yellow to red, I'm reminded of our prospective students walking through the gates of Valemont University for the first time, ready to be transformed by the power of education.

One of the questions we ask upon reviewing student applications is are you one of us? Sometimes that's mistaken for old-fashioned elite east-coast snobbery, but I sincerely believe that Valemont students are special - chosen, even - to attend our school. Every student who walks through my door is someone who has the opportunity to discover his or her true potential.

Can you imagine what an amazing world we would live in if we all lived up to that?

We are still accepting applications for the new school year. Letters of acceptance are being sent out in late September.

Are you one of us?

I'm looking forward to finding that out.

Best regards,

Prof. Nicholas Blunt
