Do you ever read Wikipedia?
Since the early 2000s, Marc has taught local students how to engage with the online world from within our small rural community.
Some of the Wikipedia pages you enjoy may have been created or edited by Marc’s college students—for extra credit!
In Summary
Thanks for your interest in our favorite causes.
We know this list might make us look a bit idealistic or grandiose. But we think that even small efforts really do make the world a little better—and humanity a little happier—every day.
