An Interview With Dr. Patricia Busk: Professor, School of Education, University of San Francisco

This morning I had the opportunity to go back to the School of Education at the University of San Francisco and meet with my former professor, Dr. Patricia Busk. As a graduate student I had the good fortune to take many courses with Dr. Busk, and it is an honor to interview her today. Listen to Dr. Busk share her views of the challenges facing higher education in the United States and what some of the solutions to the challenges might be during this century.

Thank you Dr. Busk for giving me the opportunity to interview you and share with the audience your ideas!
