About his time at Broward College, Mark writes:

"Having attended Broward College almost 30 years ago, it feels like a whole different lifetime. I enjoyed editing and designing P’an Ku. Promoting student work was also very fulfilling. Having the issues I edited win awards across the country and across the state of Florida made it even more special.

During my time at Broward College, I also worked in the Learning Resources Center where I oversaw the Macintosh lab. This allowed me to meet and interact with the diverse student body. I enjoyed assisting students with writing papers as well as helping them on their educational journey.
