Graduate School Interviews

This past weekend I traveled to Southern Illinois University Carbondale, the Clinton School in Little Rock, and the Bush (41) School in College Station, Texas.  All three schools were amazing and I consider it an honor to be invited to visit each of their programs. It was an exciting time…
