”…The case of Mr. Lawrence is a lesson for the tens of thousands of university-bound students who will be packing their bags this month and heading off to colleges and universities across North America.

“…As the current state of American education continues to evolve and grow, today’s teachers, professors and students face more challenges than ever before. Twenty-first century students are tech-savvy, sophisticated, and willing to embrace advanced learning opportunities. Others are ambitiously seeking interesting business experiences and rewarding internship opportunities – even years before high school or college graduation.
While government and industry experts are presently exploring options to enhance elements of the education system to meet the competitive demands of the global market, Stevens Institute of Technology Alumna and education entrepreneur, Sandra Perilli (class of 2003) is implementing her own alternative solution - with impressive results.”
