Q&A Top 5
What is your job?
Primarily, my role is to attract and support visiting conference groups and individual guests for our summer housing program. Also, I oversee the management of the North and South Residential Village Area Offices. I enjoy supporting my colleagues in our department with their programs and projects as well.
What other campus activities are you involved in?
Since the summer Student Orientation program entails overnight accommodations, I am involved with the planning and development process for that. This past year, I was heavily involved in the staff development program ("SEED") offered by the Department of Human Resources. Also, I am involved with others in the Event Planners group.
What advice do you have for students on how to have a successful college experience?
  • Try new things.
  • Speak your mind.
  • Trust your intuition.
  • Make clear decisions based on who you want to be.
  • And, as they say, "Everything in moderation."
What do you like about Case/Cleveland?
There is a good, healthy understanding here that we're all a part of the learning process. We all have a lot to learn, and there is good support for that. Also, the pizza in the Fribley Marche is extraordinary.
What is your favorite quote or motto?
Men have called me mad, but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is not the loftiest intelligence - whether much that is glorious - whether all that is profound does not spring from disease of thought - from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect. — Edgar Allan Poe
