Teaching has been part of Gina Marcon’s (BA ’87, BEd ’88) life since she was six years old.

Twenty years ago, the cockpit of the average car was a lot less complicated.  

Knobs and buttons turned on the heat and air conditioning, adjusted vents or changed the radio station. 

Today, touch screens are the norm, and manufacturers compete to add the latest in technological advancements.
