My dream is to effect change in terms of policy issues in higher education.Dr. Lum has taught me on how to "go about" this effectively.. his expertise in Policy administration had a great influence in someone like me who hates politics, cannot work with politicians, and one who will always challenge policies.

I can't figure out all the (+) comments for Prof. Lum, even people in my own class loved him. I just don't get it! He never commented on papers, and in boards, he would respond to 5-6 people. He had some of the strictest policies I have seen @ Walden, took him weeks to grade assignments, and didn't follow the syllabus. Maybe he was just mean to me?
