Education Promotes Innovation

“…If one feels he is of a free, restlessly lively mind he can prevent his rigidity through constant change; and if he is on the whole a veritable thinking snowball, then he will have no opinions at all in his head, but rather only certain keys and precisely measured probabilities.” –Friedrich Nietzche

Universities create communities of progressive thinking because they promote an open mind ready to grasp new information. This environment, in turn, becomes fertile grounds for innovative ideas. And this wondrous state of mind is marked by the excitement of forward thinking ~ as they project the prospects of applying new knowledge while applying it to good use. The mind of the student is inspired by the great thinkers who teach; the past great thinkers who raised the bar and posthumously inspire to teach; and the doers, those who made a difference and changed the world.
