News Articles—Business Beyond the Classroom
Something students do not know about you: I enjoy
movies about serial killers but cannot watch horror ones
Your best class anecdote: A sleeping student did not
wake up when I put a piece of paper on top of his head.
Your pet peeve: When someone says “It’s not my job”!

The best advice I ever received was: Raised by a
