At the time of enrollment, Alma thought this class had a more philosophical focus, instead she was looking at astrophysics. Whenever pi was cancelled out, it was nice, because an answer without pi is rational…but life without pie would be unbearable.

Educause Proposal Reviewer for 2015 Conferences
As a member of Educause, Alma had the opportunity to review proposals for the 2015 Conferences planned for San Diego, Atlanta, and San Antonio. She reviewed ten proposals for the San Antonio conference April 22 – 24, 2015.
Reading the proposals provided insight about hot topics within higher education and technology as well as details regarding conference programming as it functions on a large scale for a nationwide organization. The chief takeaways were the manner of descriptive criteria that were included in the proposal feedback system, and the various formats that were available for topics which did not lend themselves to traditional presentations.
