One of the truly great pleasures of my existence is when a former student writes a brilliant book, and I get to hold it in my hot little hands. Congratulations to Mary Beth Harris on the publication of A Genealogy of the Gentleman, now out with UDel. #c18

Everyone working in higher education--faculty, staff and administrators--could really use a crash course in higher ed finance. Seeing the light bulbs turn on when I teach my more in-depth version is awesome.

My pup Alice is growing up so fast!
