A few years ago I made the decision to go back to school. I was 39, divorced, and had 2 kids. That might sound crazy scary but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Growing up in the 80’s I watched my dad work in Corporate America. He earned an MBA from(…)
There is never a perfect time to go back to school. It’s a decision you have to be firm about. Technology has really changed the way we learn. When I decided to go back to school for my MBA it had been 15 years since I had taken a college class. I put my Thornton(…)
A Delta Gamma recruitment video from the University of Miami has gone viral but not without criticism. I’m so tired of society calling a woman in a bathing suit a slut, whore, and other derogatory names. Comments like, “future trophy wife” or “blonde bimbos” echo online about the DG women. If I had a daughter(…)
I feel like I blinked and the summer is over. Hard to believe it’s already back to school time. There’s pros & cons of the kids being in school. The good: they’re out of the house, back on a daily routine, and no video games all day. The bad: HOMEWORK!!!! Here are 15 back(…)

On August 14, 2014 the world as we know it will be enhanced. Well, at least for SEC fans. ESPN will kickoff the first network solely dedicated to a college conference. It’s quite fitting that this honor is bestowed upon the SEC!!! To further gear up excitement and enlighten the other losing conferences the SEC Network launched a #14Schools14Stories(…)
It’s never too early to introduce thoughts about higher education to children. When Mo’s school participated in A Day In Troy at USC we were all in! It was a great program. A Day in Troy is a community service event put on by the USC Athletic Department. Fans have the opportunity to spend(…)
As an MBA student, I really take note to marketing and advertising. Every once in a while a television commercial comes along you never forget. There’s “Where’s The Beef” for Wendy’s, Bill Cosby’s Jell-O ads, Budweiser’s Clydesdales, and McDonalds’s “I’m Loving It Campaign”. One of the most powerful ads I’ve seen is a commercial for(…)
