Todd Nelson: Thank you, Davis. Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us for our fourth quarter 2023 earnings call. I'd like to begin by thanking our faculty, student support staff, and all other employees for their ongoing commitment in serving and educating our students. We ended 2023 on a strong note as it relates to student retention and engagement and I am proud of the entire Perdoceo team as they executed on our priorities and delivered on our commitment of further enhancing student experiences, retention, and academic outcomes. Before I go into some details for the fourth quarter and full year, here are some of the key observations and highlights. First, as we exit 2023, student retention and engagement are the highest that they have been over the past few years across both our academic institutions and we expect to operate at these improved levels through 2024.
