Justin Aglio: Preparing Each Student for Personal, Professional, and Civic Success
Justin: Thanks for having me, Spiffy!

Second, we must find ways to give students real-world experiences that are transferable beyond near-term job openings. Third, we must create meaningful ways for students to lead in their communities and collaborate with others to make the world livable for all.
