Hello, Mr. Ross. A new edition of my book just came out and I was a Fulbright Canada Research Chair in STEM Education last semester. I’m back on the east coast and look forward to visiting St. John soon.
Dr. Jacqui. We remember your days at Mt Zion UMC and want you to know that we have a STEM program we are so proud of. If you are ever in the area, we’d love for you to visit.
