Visionary Leadership or Good Public Relations?

Many persons extend lavish praise on the visionary leadership of President Jerry Farley.

However, these persons should remain mindful that many people obtain success with a great deal of credit due to their public relations firm.

In the interest of extending that credit where credit is due, these are some of the public relations costs that have contributed to Washburn University's success story.
