Why La 91直播?
I chose to join the faculty at 91直播 because of the real presence of a community spirit that seems to penetrate the campus. Here there is an emphasis placed on how we can utilize theory for practical purposes, and fits perfectly with my teaching style and research agenda. Plus, I love the city of Philadelphia!
