LANSING – The Mobile Technology Association of Michigan on Tuesday announced the launch of its Mobile in Education statewide advisory council.

Leading the council will be Beth Nuccio, Director of Career Services at Baker College of Auburn Hills. Nuccio has more than 25 years of experience in the field of non-profit higher education and 18 years of public service as an Oakland County Commissioner and a Brandon Board of Education Trustee.
