Special thanks

I want to extend a special thanks to the book donors:

• Christopher LaRoche
• Elisa Kaplan Miller
• Elsevier Publishing
• Morgan & Claypool
• Morgan Kaufman
• Rosenfeld Media

Their generosity has created a small library of extremely relevant and timely books for future UTP faculty and students.  On their behalf as well as on mine, THANK YOU!

Also, thanks to the Fulbright Program, sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and particularly, Jennifer Fox for her support and encouragement as I prepared to come to Panama.

Thanks to the faculty, staff and students of the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, and to the staff at the US Embassy in Panama City.

Most of all, thanks to my wonderful family who supported me throughout the process of applying, preparing for, and living this adventure.
