Life goes on amid pandemic
We like to recognize excellence and celebrate educational achievement at The Real Deal Press. We are empathizing these days with those students and their families who have completed their degree journeys this year but for whom the pandemic has precluded the hard earned pomp and circumstance that should frame the occasion.
To acknowledge those students from our community who have or will receive degrees this spring, let's do this:
If your son, daughter, mother, father, grandchild, cousin, nephew, neighbor, colleague, or significant other has earned a degree this spring, complete this short form and we will share their accomplishment with the world.
Our first responders:
Aliyah Marie Benson of Shaker Hts., was graduated from Hiram College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience/Psychology, [Sharon Glaspie, Grandmother].
Christopher Joseph Alexander Cox May of Hudson received his Master
Complete this form soon to make sure your special person gets the community acknowledgement they deserve.
Act now! This offer is ending soon!

Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich is a professor at the University of California at Berkeley. We chanced yesterday upon this 20-minute video of him speaking at the semester-ending class on Wealth and Poverty. He talked about the career and life choices ahead for his graduating students. It was deeper fare than most graduating speakers offer. It’s worth checking out and sharing with the young people in your life.
