Email us and we'll get back to you faster than you can say "I need you now."" Really? It's been awhile since I've been a student on campus, but I'd venture to guess that Facebook, Shazaam, Pandora, and Instagram are all more ubiquit…

This type of hyperbole is exactly what I'd expect from a David Adewumi creation. Adewumi is a chronic over-seller and under-deliverer. He has screwed over countless of his peers at Penn State, where he managed to spend more than three years without actually having completed two consecutive semesters successfully. I expect One School to bust as all of his past initiatives have due to his inability to lead, execute, an…

As someone who has worked with David Adewumi in the past, the only hyperbole and over-selling are the attempts to discredit him. His passion is second to none and his leadership style is results-oriented. I am not part of the OneSchool team but if there was one person I'd travel across the country with carrying only $2,000 and a start-up vision, it would be David Adewumi.

"When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical."

Judge the product. Not the individual behind it.

Spending your time trying to derogate someone's reputation...classy. David is one of those people that you only have to meet once in order to see that they are going to do something extraordinary, something most people would never dare to try. He has impacted the penn state community and I look forward to seeing how he can impact other colleges.
