I have been given the extraordinary opportunity to work as an Adjunct Professor with Fairleigh Dickinson University as an Accounting Professor. In many ways, I believe I am learning just as much if not more than the students. I develop the lessons, assignments, and exams on my own...though I have many terrific resources at the University to review my ideas and materials to ensure I am maximizing their effectiveness.
