* I current serve as the Founder and Executive Director at UniversityNexus.org, a national think tank for Professors, faculty members, administrators, and students to join the call to fight and improve the quality of teaching and learning in higher education institutes. The company mission is to build a national movement to defend the public interests of undergraduate students; to improve the quality of teaching and learning in higher education institutions; and to pursue transformative reform, so that all universities can better serve students. UniversityNexus.org believes that the whole communities must get involved in the fight for better universities. This can be achieved with the exchange of ideas from Professors, administrators, staff, and students from all higher education institutions. It is my hope that this think tank and issues discussed will encourage debate and transformative change within the higher education sector.
