It's very evident he cares about and relates well to youth…very clear that his presentation wasn't his "job" but his passion. He inspired them, without a doubt.
Our Board of Trustees insists that we bring in the most remarkable leaders we can find in any field. Dr. Tyson's address exceeded our expectations in every regard.
