Hickman praised the university and its faculty, saying, “You not only allow humanities
and communication to be part of the curriculum here, you encourage it, and that just
makes your students better and allows them to grow intellectually and personally.
And at the same time, it allows the community to grow intellectually and culturally
by allowing humanities and communications and arts to be such an important part of
this university.”
