And so, much like a parent dropping their child off at college, Blackboard is taking the business that it has nurtured and setting it up to continue to flourish, giving it what it needs to be independent. That starts with a solid, sustainable business foundation, an amazing and talented team, and a remarkable set of clients” – Phil Miller, Chief Learning and Innovation Officer at Blackboard.
