Grant Writing with Dr. Martin

How old is Dr. Martin? He toyed with us during the first thirty minutes of class. He gave us a story of his background in education, life in general as well as his professional career. He is a very accomplished individual. He has been published well over 100 times, written text books, received his Doctorate at the age of 26 and has served on many boards of trustees for associations in relation to grants and funding.

We discussed the course syllabus and basic terminology. We will present a grant proposal in groups of two to a review board. One group will win the grant and be awarded maximum points for the activity. We get to choose our partners.

The class sounds very interesting. Hard to believe that I am excited about a grant writing course, but Dr. Martin just made me feel so comfortable.
