N.B. – It’s a strange coincidence that I am making this announcement on October 5 which happens to be World Teachers Day. As a way of helping Prof. Todd Terhune, acting dean of Hannam University’s Linton Global College (where I am currently on special detail as a visiting professor), I would like to post the teaching positions available right now at LGC. If you’re interested and you meet the qualifications, you should apply. Please feel free to disseminate. Thank you. (P.S. Happy Teachers Day!)
