In a Life of Learning, Giving Matters Most

 

What Motivates a Love of Learning:

I was fortunate to have the influence of four outstanding teachers, one each in elementary school, high school, college, and graduate school. Each of these teachers instilled in me the love of learning, the excitement of trying and (sometimes) solving difficult problems, and the importance of caring for those around you.

What Matters:

My priorities are to provide for and care for those around me and "to leave the world a little bit better than I found it" (Ralph Waldo Emerson).

How He Helps:

I can never directly repay those who have helped me along my life journey, but I can pass along what they have given me. Giving to the University to help better the educational experience of our students is one small way I can do that.
