Lessons in kindness: A professor's generosity comes full circle

in #adventure7 years ago

It's hard for students to fall asleep in Dr. Henry Musoma's class at Texas A&M's business school. He's always doing something extra. He's extra engaged and extra supportive to the people he cares about most -- his students.

"I'm reminded of a friend of mine who said he's not an educator, he's an edutainer," Musoma told CBS News' Omar Villafranca. But it's not just in his teaching that Musoma has shown he's more than willing to do something extra.

When Ashton Robinson told Musoma she couldn't come to class because she didn't have a babysitter, his answer was simple: Bring the baby to class. A little fussiness didn't keep the professor from finishing his lesson. For Jake Ross, Musoma meant so much to him that Jake's fiancée surprised him by having the professor officiate their wedding. He helped another student find a job.

But how does someone learn to be kind? For Musoma, his education started more than 8,000 miles away in the African country of Zambia.
