| Abstract |
For most professors, getting denied tenure is the end of their career. For LC Ricke, it was only the beginning. In this intriguing talk, LC argues that people with graduate degrees have a significant amount of skills to offer the world outside the Ivory Tower. LC is the founder and director of Reggie's Friends. Reggie’s Friends was founded in 2014 both out of a love for helping dogs and the realities of living in a city with an estimated 1.2 million homeless animals - dubbed Stray Dog City by some. Instead of just wanting to do something, she took the social media presence of her dog, Reggie to raise the funds necessary to start the 501c3 animal rescue.

Since its founding, Reggie's Friends has placed over 500 dogs into loving forever homes around the US and into parts of Canada. Reggie's Friends focuses its efforts on dogs that many others would leave behind, including bully breeds, dogs from fighting confiscations, cruelty and abuse cases, and severe medical cases. We live and love by the hashtag Street Life To Sweet Life. |
