Ways in which I support or interact with UM-Flint students:
\n<\/strong>I have volunteered with them\u00a0and\u00a0collaborated with them on projects.\u00a0Sarah Clark, who is a current UM-Flint student, [worked on my] second\u00a0book which is a activity and coloring book.\u00a0Jason Jerke, who is an alum, is working on my third\u00a0book.<\/p>\n

Gale is passionate about higher ed and its benefits for students. She’s written two books for children that center on learning about college.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have [written] two\u00a0Reach Higher Ed<\/em> books which are very similar. Both books were designed to try and help the literacy rate in Michigan and both books are meant to be interactive so that young children retain what they have learned.<\/p>\n
