Here Comes the Class of 2018
During the spring semester I have the privilege of talking to prospective students and their families during Admitted Student Days.

Every new semester feels a bit like being shot out of a cannon. This Fall’s launch has taken me a bit further than most. I was appointed Interim Dean of the Rubenstein School on October 1st and I’m still looking for the net.
