Today we are going to talk about a student entrepreneurial venture that may be of interest: Storage Scholars, who works with shipping items to school (or storing them over the summer once the school year ends). The following message was sent to me by […]


Tall Poppy Syndrome

Today’s post, Tall Poppy Syndrome, is one that historically generates a lot of emails. I like to run it in the fall before the school year begins, just to help plant the seed (pardon the pun) of new students avoiding the compare-and-contrast game with their […]
