Who are you?
I'm Stephen Cognetta, a lecturer at the University of San Francisco and Northeastern University. I founded this platform because I believe in making universities more industry-relevant. Plus, I love being a guest lecturer or having them in my classroom and I'd like to open up access to these teaching opportunities.
