  Wow! Congratulations! She was my professor here at FIU (Florida International University). I loved her classes and now I teach part time at FIU and model my classed after her.
  So proud to say I know Dr. Strong-Leek! She is an amazing academic and administrator and Berea College is blessed to have her as Provost and Professor. We all learned so much from her at Harvard’s IEM 2019 this past July. Way to go Berea!!
  
  There’s an old saying that first impression always lasts long. When we are talking about a home, the exterior is normally the main thing to see upon before they enter the house. Skilled and creative designers always guarantee that the exterior is genuinely wonderful. Their decision of material for the exteriors may run from cement to wood, stone, block, glass or even metal.
  So if you are looking for an exterior design for your own dream house, you are in the right place to come in as we have discovered a large group of stunning designs for you to admire and be inspired.
  
  Joliet Catholic Academy football star, and current Indianapolis Colts tight end Coby Fleener ’07 has always been the epitome of student-athlete. The former Hilltopper parlayed his athletic and academic success into a full scholarship to Stanford out of high school. Now entering his fourth season in the NFL with the Colts, Fleener continues to prove he’s not your normal professional athlete.
  He’s as unique off the field as he is on it. Most NFL tight ends don’t spend part of their summer vacation walking teenagers through the basics of computer coding. But most tight ends aren’t Fleener. He’s an NFL anomaly. He’s an intellectual. He calls his home life “boring.” He reads. He blogs. He tweets about global markets.
  Fleener recently introduced a six hour crash course in computer coding to 60 middle schoolers at the Colts’ training complex. The program was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is known as “Coby’s Coding Camp”.
  He earned a bachelor’s degree from Stanford University in Science, Technology and Society. Suffice to say he knows what he’s talking about. He’s a tech junkie who hopes to one day work in Silicon Valley. He wants to invent something, to create something.
  “Easier said than done,” Fleener cautions. “Everybody in America imagines themselves one step away from creating the next big app.”
  Even NFL tight ends? In Fleener’s case, yes. But all of that — Silicon Valley, the next big app, life after football — will have to wait. On this afternoon Fleener is busy answering questions from a room full of ambitious young computer programmers. He’s in his element.
  Excerpts taken from Zak Keefer’s “Colts’ tight end Coby Fleener is also a coding geek” published in the IndyStar on August 6, 2015. Click Here to read the entire article.
