His teaching prowess extends beyond Drexel; Chris has also been a distinguished guest lecturer at American University's Graduate Analytics Program in Washington, D.C.

"Continuous learning is a deep passion of mine, and I’m excited to share my industry knowledge and business experience with the students," said Chris. "Being a professor and teaching the next generation is incredibly fulfilling. I’m grateful for the opportunity."
