David Rose is my professor – the “santa claus” with the tiara. He received the the 2017 J.E. Wallace Wallin Special Education Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).

Even though he is truly a Great Man, he felt like your neighborhood grandad who is incredibly kind and love to learn about the newest thing in town. Felt tremendously grateful to be his student.

Lesson shared by David during his award speech: surround yourself who are better than you – how he surrounded himself with people who are great in technology, teaching, etc. in CAST.

How I took his lesson: attended the Harvard JFK Talk with Indian Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India.
