Favorite quote:
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Favorite movie: 
Casablanca

Favorite thing about W&J: 
The people- physical structures come and go, personnel come and go, but the spirit that is W&J, just seems to take up residence in whoever is here.

Favorite place on campus: 
Henry Memorial Gym, I played many a fierce, but competitive, game of intramural basketball both as a student and an administrator!

Have been on the W&J staff since:
July 1988

Advice to prospective students: 
Relax, be yourself, enjoy the process… you will get into college. Remember, it is called College Admissions, not College Denial!
