After listening to my presentation, together with that of my colleagues, Prof. Steven Mayers and Prof. Richard Compean, this is what Prof. Amy Love of San Francisco State University wrote to me: To: Abdul Jabbar; Richard Compean; Steven Mayers; Mon 11/2/2015 1:22 PM Your session shined like gold! My colleague told me she could barely sleep that night because her mind was racing, filled with ways to adopt and adapt your approaches. She’s on sabbatical, though, which explains why she can do that now and I’ll have to wait till my semester’s over. Still, I just wanted to let you know how much we were impressed and inspired by your session, which made the whole conference worthwhile for us. Thank you!
