The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Rising consumer confidence generally reflects greater confidence in one’s job situation and financial outlook. Consumers are therefore more willing to spend and take risks, which should translate into higher business sales. Although the light at the end of the tunnel may be an on-rushing train or impending financial collapse, perceptions of improved circumstances signals consumers are more willing to loosen purse strings and an expanding economy should occur at least in the near term. Of course, as Dr. [Alan] Gin says, economists look for three consecutive changes in an index in one direction to signal turning points for the economy.
