Professional Bio
Zeke is no longer a graduate student at Penn State because the Department of English, despite claiming to "fully fund [their] students for 6 years", refused to offer them a Graduate Assistantship package that would meet the Department of Homeland Security's dictated dollar minimums to obtain a doctoral student visa to study at Penn State.
Zeke is currently seeking active employment.
