Mark Smith
My name is Mark Smith. Prof. Sterling was incredibly helpful to me in the early ‘80s. I had graduated with a Masters in Sociology, but found no job. Nick allowed me to pursue Math at the undergrad and grad level at SUNY Binghamton, simultaneously in an attempt to become a high school Math teacher. Not only that, he arranged for me to be a dorm director (in order to finance the venture. In 2018 I retired after teaching for 35 years.
Prof. Sterling, in a short time, gave new direction to my life. I am most grateful. Only wish I had expressed this much earlier.
