i am currently at a small private liberal arts college...i believe it gives me added credibility with the administration AND it will be useful should i put myself back in the job market. i should note, i was at an r-1 for a number of years and didn't think it was important then. Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. It is a seeking that he who wishes may know the cosmic secrets of the world and that they dwell therein. ~Zora Neale Hurston~ Kim A. Pachetti, Ed.M., C.R.A.
