QUOTABLES:
“The idea that you can change someone’s life in an hour and fifteen minutes twice a week was a heady notion for me and certainly much more rewarding than anything I had experienced in the practice of law.”
“You know what the future of work looks like, and it is not hourly, low-wage trades.
It is critical thinking, higher-order thinking skills, the ability to solve problems. People have yet to
be replaced by machines, nor will they ever. Students with a baccalaureate degree are in the best position to take those jobs.”
