Tell us something interesting about yourself that your students might not know about you.
I worked with, reported to, and learned from Morley Winograd at AT&T during my six-year employment. Morley, President and CEO of the Campaign for Free College Tuition, is an expert on millennials, authored many books, and was former Vice President Al Gore's policy advisor.
