"Liberal arts colleges are the most effective training grounds for business because they teach you a value system.  They teach you how to think and how to write.  They teach you that education doesn't stop when you receive your degree."
- George Dean Johnson '64, South Carolina Business Hall of Fame, Former Chief Executive Officer, Extended Stay America
