When you bet, you are taking a risk. Although, there is risk, we can also be confident the hand we are holding is better and stronger than that of our competitors and we will win. And we all know that we can't win if we don't play the game and make the bets. These seven big bets rally the entire university community to create a more compelling, vibrant, and curated student experience.
