I had the great pleasure to have a chat with our Provost during this fetching sit down meeting at our Coyote Radio studios. What started out to be a journey down accountant lane for him became a successful career studying and practicing sociology in his every day life and with his students. What happened to initiate this change? Give us a listen and find out!
During your listen you'll hear more too about his philosophies, pizza, burgers and living your best life.
A quick look at his official CSUSB bio:
