One class at Monmouth you still think about today?
📚 I still think about a class I took with Professor David Suda called “Modernism and the Great War.” It was incredible course that took an interdisciplinary approach to studying the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries using history, art, music, and literature.
Advice for seniors?
ߎ㢠width= Don’t settle for a job you hate but pays the bills. Do something that makes you happy, something that satisfies your species-being. The ultimate point of life is to be happy. If you are not happy, everything else is moot.
Favorite Monmouth tradition?
❤️ߖ䢠width= My favorite tradition is the bagpipers coming through the dorms on Scots Day and playing Scotland the Brave.
