Meet Roger Craver and Richard Viguerie—two men who have shaped American political life for over six decades. They’ve fought for opposite cau

Going Big is not about playing it safe. It is about refusing to accept that things must stay the way they are.

What does it mean to lead boldly at a place where the walls are older than the country itself? At William & Mary, one of the most storied academic institutions in the United States, *going big* isn’t about abandoning tradition—it’s about building on it with clarity, courage, and vision. And under the leadership of President Katherine Rowe, that’s exactly what’s happening. As the 28th president—and the first woman to hold the role in the university’s 330-year history—Katheri
