Donald Shandler lived in a cramped apartment behind his father’s candy store until he was 17 years old.

Like many first-generation Americans, Shandler discovered that education would offer him a path forward. Follow him on his journey to “the other side of the street,” from failing out of college on his first attempt to finishing his career with a PhD from Ohio State University and becoming a senior university administrator.
