What is your favorite thing about Franklin College?

I have been privileged to take several classes at Franklin College since I began working here. I love the small class sizes, the investment by the faculty in their students and the dedication of staff members to making the Franklin College experience something special for each student.

What is your favorite Franklin tradition and why?

I’m not sure I have a favorite, so many to choose from.

My favorite place I have visited is...

I have a theory that everyone is either a beach person or a mountain person. It doesn’t mean that if you are a beach person, you don’t like mountains. It just means that beaches make your soul sing. I’m a mountain person, so anywhere there is a mountain is where I want to be. Some of my favorites are: Mount Lemmon and the Rincons near Tucson, AZ; the Black Hills and the Badlands in South Dakota and Arenal Volcano near La Fortuna, Costa Rica.
