President's Report Of 2010-2011 Effective Term Paper

This information is delivered throughout the report, as there is a student or alumni that is highlighted within the description of almost every strategic goal. The first is a recent graduate, Charlotte Shannon. Shannon is used as an example of how Santa Clara's academic and social programs excel and provide great experience for students, but also a great impact on the community as well. She is used as an example to show just how many opportunities students at Santa Clara have in order to grow as an individual and to increase their capabilities for impacting the world around them.

This successfully represents the underlying textual themes in a visual way and shows the reader that the past can be effectively brought into this strange and uncertain future in a globalized world. The report is allowed to highlight the 160 years of success the University has achieved without making it look outdated and out of touch with the new world.
