Meet Brian

by Brian December 28, 2011

As Steve Bell said in the previous blog post, we are running a series of posts to tell you a bit  about ourselves, which is like trying to write a novel in Sanskrit for me. I went to college at Colorado State University in Fort Collins Colorado and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.    Every summer break, I would go back to IBM as an intern and save enough money to help pay for some items in school.    After college, I got a job for National Semiconductor in Utah and worked there for 3 years.

Private School Enrollment Down Again

by admin August 22, 2011

Pretty significant drop in enrollment. Looking at the numbers that is about 800,000 student drop in enrollment during that timeframe. Why? There is much speculation to why.. Overall cost of private school tuition has been increasing year over year. Of course the sputtering economy could be to blame. I hate to put the numbers in – but looking at the tuition increase of about 74% – is scary. The […]
