Is there any particular advice you
can give to students? My favorite quote:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines,
sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. (MARK TWAIN)
ALSO: Don't go into the restaurant business, go to grad school.
Why do you like Schreiner?
The students, faculty and staff ...in other words, our community.
