Welcome to my first blog entry here on our corporate website.  I am looking forward to sharing commentary and insight on current events within higher education.  I expect these musings to be a mix of thoughts on current events, legal decisions, and my experiences as I transition from being a law clerk to being an attorney who is blessed to have the opportunity to follow his dream.

I believe that while people across the globe attend various types of post-secondary institutions, few understand the truly complex nature of a college or university.  I hope to be able to take the time to explain what I hear and see as I travel and assist various institutions follow their individual education missions.  I am pleased you have chosen to join me on this adventure.

I have been at the helm of my own practice for less than a week now, and I am already reminded of how interesting, and important, higher education is.  As I type this entry from the lobby of my law school, I remember that institutions are hardly as stoic or as static as they seem.  I was privileged to have spent today speaking with friends and colleagues on my old stomping grounds.  I sit here reminded of how human institutions are.  In turn, I remember how important it is that institutions remain committed to the innate human character of their service.

There is no longer an average university student.  Nor is there an average path to a successful career.  I am confident that my own “non-traditional” path will prove to be an asset as I venture out over these next few weeks.
