 “Thriving in Unfamiliar Places” with guest, Dr. Sydney Freeman, Jr., University of Idaho. Dr. Freeman is a groundbreaker. He is a professor in the Department of Leadership and Counseling at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, the first African American male to be promoted to full professor in the university's history.
