Month: February 2016

In this interview I am excited to introduce Ernie as the new Program Director for our incoming class of interns in June. I talk with Ernie about his new position, what motivates him to teach, and we entertain deep thoughts on autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Special shout out to all our fantastic EM Program Candidates listening in podcast land. Get in touch for any questions you might have for Ernie (or anyone here at Drexel EM) and good luck in the Match! See you in June!
