is the opportunity to engage with my students via discussion postings and
assignments. I am able to share my life experiences, thus empowering them with real
world and contemporary information they can apply toward their course work and
professional careers.” In his recent spare time, Dr. Smiles enjoys renovating his
house, originally built in 1907.
