Motte received his bachelor of science degree from the University of Southern California and his master of business administration from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
Nyquist is the associate dean of student affairs and director of the post baccalaureate degree program at Temple University’s Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry.
