I took Calculus I, II, and III in high school at the local college, and when I enrolled at the University of Virginia, my courses included honors chemistry and physics for physics majors—although I did not major in physics.

We hear a lot about the importance of students becoming responsible digital citizens in the 21st century. And we couldn’t agree more.
