As many of you know, the world lost a wonderful #educator and #humanitarian recently. Steve Mariotti. When I first met with Steve, he agreed to meet for 20 minutes. He spent two hours with me. He would go on to be a mentor and former board member. Grateful to have known him and knowing the world is a better place because he was in it. May he rest in peace.
