What’s the best part of teaching at IMSA?<\/strong><\/em>
\n“Definitely the students. IMSA students have a genuine curiosity for learning, a quality that keeps me from taking up offers at universities. I love how the students are kind enough to listen to my tangents and raves. I really appreciate it, I do. Also, the fact that they’re always trying new things is incredible. And it’s always great to walk into my office and find people simply lounging in there.”<\/p>\n

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen an IMSA student do?<\/strong><\/em>
\n“Here I’ve got two:
\n1. I was at a club event and I remember seeing one student drink two two-liter Jolt Cola bottles. He then tested his blood sugar on his diabetic friend’s blood glucose meter. Everyone knows that this drink will spike up anyone’s blood sugar, but I guess this kid wanted to test it by experimenting on himself. His blood sugar reached an unhealthy level so I took him outside to the YARE yard and made him run laps for half an hour while I sat on the pavement watching him.<\/p>\n

2. This one’s equally as crazy. We used to have these huge bonfires during Homecoming week at IMSA. They were like 10-feet long. One year, I remember seeing a student bring a fire resistant blanket to cover himself with as he sat really close to the fire. I think he wanted to see how close he could get to the fire and how long he could last there. He must have been like 5-feet to the fire”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you had the opportunity to create a new IMSA course, what would be the field of study?<\/strong><\/em>
\n“History of Fashion – I really would like to teach this sometime and I think a lot of students would be interested. Maybe someday.”<\/p>\n
