Kofi Annan urges educators to focus on character development

If student affairs educators ever needed a mandate and license for the work they do, Kofi Annan's remark in his keynote at the 2013 NAFSA is as good as it gets:

A good education is about the formation of character and not merely transmission of knowledge.

This kind of impact does not result from student services; it is the impact of deep engagement with students in educational and developmental initiatives.
