    I am surprised you have not heard about it or seen the many announcements about it. Prof. Blair Wong is the Program Director and was just recognized by OAA and there have been many announcements in the national press about the school. It has been open long enough now for its first graduating class, I think. I know over a year.

    I, for one, am thrilled to see this new program up and running and being led by a wonderful man and an outstanding faculty. We need more of them! Join me in wishing them the very best for the future.

    Blair has done a wonderful job at Ben Franklin. If you ever have a chance to work alongside of one of his students you will soon see how well trained they are.
