A Day in My Life ~ Cassandra Sato
In my everyday job as Vice President for Student Affairs at Morton College, I’m more comfortable writing meeting minutes, strategic plans, or academic articles for Chronicles of Higher Education than entertaining people with stories about my day. Normally most people would say I lead a pretty boring life.
Grandma’s Apple Pie with Oil Pastry Crust
In Dead of Winter Break, Cassandra celebrates her first Christmas away from her family’s home in Hawai’i. When she and her best friend Meg make pies together, this is the family recipe they use for the Apple Pie.
