This is just temporary or placement text.  This is how text would appear on this page. This is not a required section, but if needed for any reason, this page could have a letter from the Department Head, for example.  Or it could house some testimonials from past graduate students.  For example:

"I think that doing philosophy differs greatly from studying philosophy.  The study of philosophy too often leads to the mistaken impression that philosophy refers to the practice of forming and vehemently defending ideas.  However, if one is lucky enough to study amidst a diverse faculty of consummate professionals, the experience is radically different.  Studying philosophy in this environment comes closer to the experience of doing philosophy.  This experience, rather than referring to the construction and maintenance of barriers to thought, refers to the eclipse of all barriers that seek to limit thought."
~Student Number1, Philosophy grad 2009

"People are often surprised when I tell them that my major is information systems and yet I have a minor in philosophy....I think people underestimate the value of philosophy because it often discusses topics that many people could care less about.  What people fail to realize is that, in discussing these topics, one learns valuable skills such as analyzing every possible aspect of a question/problem, recognizing others' fallacious arguments, constructing your own persuasive arguments, looking at problems from a different perspective..."
~Student Number2, Major in Philosophy 2010
