>> My Penn State experience has been pretty amazing.
That's the word that comes to mind.
You know, I really feel like I've come full circle.
My first opportunity to be part of this campus was when I got hired right out of high school.
I was an incoming freshman and I was hired by media tech to be the guy.
Had an opportunity to wipe down every single TV and TV cart.
There was one in every classroom at that time
and that was the cutting edge technology with the VCR.
And so I was given a rag and a bag of cleaning supplies.
But what was great is that I knew campus.
By the time I got to classes starting I knew campus inside and out.
I'd been in every single classroom.
So, you know, my first experience was wiping down TV carts
and my final experience was walking across the stage and getting my PhD here.
And so I really feel like I literally went from wiping carts to getting my doctorate degree.
