Interview with Education Chairman
On a recent trip to Washington DC, I decided to see if I could talk to a few of our notable Representatives in Congress. Rep. George Miller was not only available, but eager to talk with me about the outreach the Committee had done in the first 100 days of the New Congress in 2007 to work with students on how we can make higher education easier and more manageable for students.
Some friends who work on the Hill told me that he was a great guy, and very forward thinking when it comes to technology and outreach. But I had no idea he would be as engaging and eager to talk about the needs of students and ways in which we can continue our work after Election Day. It was a true honor, and I certainly look forward to seeing what possibilities exist in the 2009 Legislative Session.
