I would also like to thank all of my 2015 BSU EDTECH cohort members for the group emails and video calls that kept my stress levels in check. My thanks are also extended to my colleague Kerry Hannah, for the dissertation lunch dates that kept me on schedule, and to Ron Browne for his support of my career and education goals. Finally, I wish to thank my parents for encouraging me to chase my dreams, my sister Karen Palumbo who has served as my personal cheerleader for as long as I can remember, and my husband Jim for being my rock, my sounding board, my dose of reality, or my devil's advocate whenever (and whichever) I needed.
