Dr. Pauline Clifford forms an online support group for fellow Ph.D. classmates. |
Mozart. Picasso. Bill Gates. Tiger Woods. In a culture that glorifies early achievement, it's easy to think that genius is the province of the young. But just because you may be over 30 or 40 and haven’t made your mark, that doesn’t mean you never will. And even if you’ve already had significant success, your best work may still be ahead of you.
Walden alumnus Donald Grady, Ph.D. student Sharon Jumper,
alumnus Brig. Gen. Russell Frutiger, and faculty member Reza Hamzaee share one goal: to create opportunities for people in need. Although their backgrounds range from law to economics to the armed forces, they can all be described with one word—educators. Even in the politically charged Middle East, their passion for helping others transcends cultures—and their stories remind us that improving the world begins on the individual, human level. |
