I spent last year busting my butt as the starting quarterback to make sure Marycliff moved up to Division I. Now it's my senior year, and as thanks for all my hard work, the university's brought in a new head coach and a new starting quarterback.

A half century later, BRAC is by many measures the largest nongovernmental organization in the world-and by many accounts, the most effective anti-poverty program ever.
