populations of students, engage lifelong learning partners through meaningful professional development, and foster cross-sector collaboration on issues related to student access and readiness. “It’s important that, if we want a strong democracy, we must have inclusion from all voices,” Chavez said. Inclusion of all voices is paramount to educational success for all students, marginalized or otherwise, she added. “The more connected we are, the better able we are to improve society.

He also solicited advice from PLU business school dean Mark Mulder, whose marketing class had worked with the Economic Development Association of Skagit County to study value-added agriculture. “I use a lot of that research every day up here, and there are other farms that do, as well,” Miller said.Tulip Town Website“We just really rolled up our sleeves and realized we’re not going to hit projections; but if we can hit costs, we get to do this again next year.” Deprived
