TITLE: Lessons From the Land: Applying Knowledge from Fall Harvesting to Working with Students
DESCRIPTION:
With the loss of my grandmother ten years ago I asked my family to help reconnect to them and their lifestyle. I hold multiple graduate degrees, first in the family to go to graduate university, and was a senior administrator, I am humbled every time I go out with them. Join Mark Solomon for some funny stories about life lessons that happened with his family that he uses virtually everyday.
