Lena, The importance of patience cannot be overstated. It takes time to develop and nurture a new program, and so many things comeinto play -- advertising, research, recruiting, and old fashioned stubbornness. Sometimes a new program does not take off as expected! I've had this experience many times. At a for-profit institution, many times management will want to see immediate results, not realizing that results and reputation take time to build. Lisa Sharpe
