I love this program. It’s a wonderful framework for the holiday season. Regardless of your faith, beliefs, or values, there’s something special about #service that changes communities. #LightTheWorld

COVID took my grandfather this week. A reporter from the SL Tribune (who interviewed him earlier this year) wrote an impromptu obituary for him. In a world full of imperfect people doing their best, he’s as close to a “hero” as I’ve ever met. 💔 sltrib.com/artsliving/202…

Merry Christmas everyone!! “Peace on earth, good will toward men”

Just another daily reminder why most of my #heroes are teachers.

I would contend that the printer industry failed us as a generation. Have you encountered a printer in the last 20 years that is easy to set up and use, relatively affordable, and just consistently works without constant maintenance and fussing? I have not!

Congratulations to associate professor Rucha Shukla-Bond, Pharm.D., who was announced today as AACP's newest Council of Sections Chair-elect!
