It’s of course always great to learn what they’ve been up to, but it’s also always a little jolt to be reminded how quickly time passes. Without fail, it always feels like no more than a year since we saw these folks wandering the Hall of Flags.

He was very busy during his Fletcher days; as you’ll see, some things don’t change.

Read MoreJust when you thought deadline reminder season was over, readers, I’m back to point out that February 20 is now just a short ten days away. Now would be a good time to step on the gas with your work on that application.
Read MoreOn November 18, 2021 I submitted my tuition payment for my graduate degree. This marked the fourth and final payment for my tuition, not a single cent of which came from my personal savings. In fact, the resources used to fund my entire degree actually came from a myriad of scholarship organizations, whose generosity and investment ensured that I will be graduating this spring debt-free.
