Book cover of #DoNotDisturb by Jedediah “A. J.” Bila ’00 Jedediah “A. J.” Bila ’00 #DoNotDisturb: How I Ghosted My Cell Phone to Take Back My Life (Harper Collins, 2018)

A former host for Fox News and The View, Jedediah Bila ’00 (known as “A. J.” during her Wagner years) “shares stories of her phone and social media addiction and how this insatiable need to respond affected her deeply, many times negatively, as she missed out on sunsets and countless other real-world experiences,” says Kirkus Reviews. “Since nearly all of us use our phones constantly, Bila’s tale will appeal to a wide variety of readers.”

Book cover of Teaching in the Fourth Industrial Revolution coauthored by Nadia Lopez ’98 H’16 Nadia Lopez ’98 H’16 Teaching in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Standing at the Precipice (Routledge, 2018)
