If you want High Tech with a Human Touch for your or your child's university experience, that is Florida Tech's motto, and we take it quite seriously.

My nanotechnology minor program is one of only six such undergrad programs in the US and sixty in the world. Learning does happen in the classroom, but it really happens in the lab. Our program has more lab credit hours than anyone else's. I teach chemical, biomedical, and materials engineering, but I teach and employ plenty of mechanical, aerospace, and electrical engineers working for me as well on projects like

a) 3D printing of metals, rocket propellant grains, and tissue scaffolding;
b) self-assembly of proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease proteins; and
c) conversion of biomass into energy, fuel, and chemicals for our future Atlantis.

I have rejected the Stadler/NSF way and either fund my own research or get it supported by industry in my effort to be consistent with Galt's ethics.

Florida Institute of Technology (also Florida Tech, or FIT) is a non-tenure-granting, private university that just made it into the top 200 in the world rankings according to the London Times. I will see to it that you get all possible discounts and scholarships. Florida Tech is inexpensive for a private university at $38000 per year. That is the true cost of a university education if you do not want to be a moocher. You will exchange your value (money) for my values (knowledge, expertise, and time).

Educating future Galts,

    The closest that rock and roll gets to Richard Halley's music is the music of Queen, and yes, I enjoy singing all of Freddie Mercury's hits, including his opera classic, Barcelona.

    My band, back in the day, did a lot of music by Chicago, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen. Other than those songs and sometimes during those songs, I sang.

    There is no theistic John Galt, but at my university, we have no theism vs. atheism litmus test. We do expect our faculty to have an entrepreneurial approach.

    Also develop new courses in jokes, including the technique of jokes and joking, like joke jousting, and distinctions from no jokes.

    The University at which you preside may develop new pizzas, if not already. Maybe there's a cuisine and gastronomy department, or school, at Stanford. Depending what number of times one wants to eat pizza. One may note its invention, too. Not at the same time like music.

    Maybe it's okay to include California and Florida with one nation, aside from gestures, with Texas, toward separate nations.

    The freedom of getting free pizza in exchange of the freedom to subside free speech one day or while eating the free pizza.

    One may ponder the invention of music, which a number may agree is without a type of definition allowing correct and definitive ratings.
