In defense of corporate sponsorships and a plea for civility

I was the first one in my family to graduate from college. My father was a small-business owner with a high school diploma who employed many people during his career, including some with PhD degrees.

He also believed that those who have the good fortune of success have an unwritten social contract to give back to society, each in his or her own way.
