Dear
First and foremost - Happy New Year! Welcome to the second decade of the 21st century.
I am very excited about the new year and the exciting opportunities for students this year. As we move further into the 21st century, it is becoming more and more vital that we as Americans continue to excel on the technology front so as to remain competitive in the world market and to maintain our position as the greatest country on earth - ever!
Please enjoy my latest article on education and don't forget to email me with your answer to the new trivia quote to the left.
Best wishes,
Colin Taufer
