🌟 Meet Our New Tuesday Teachers! 🌟

We are excited to introduce two wonderful teachers in our Tuesday classes this summer semester!

👨‍🏫 Teacher Gary
Gary worked for the Michigan Legislature as an economist and legislative assistant from 1984 to 2011. His expertise was in parliamentary procedure, which explains why he didn’t work in the private sector. His outside interests include refereeing soccer (retired) and listening to Bruce Sprinsteen songs (never retiring).

👩‍🏫 Teacher Ruby
Ruby is a graduate student at Michigan State University, pursuing a Master’s degree in Health and Risk Communication. Originally from Chongqing, China, she has a background in international communication and a strong interest in health education and cross-cultural storytelling.
