Who is your favorite professor at LU? |
Bertrand Goldgar. English. As the oldest full-time faculty member at Lawrence Professor Goldgar has a bit of a reputation for being a curmudgeon, really though he’s mostly harmless and he will help you make your writing considerably better than you started out… no matter how good you were to begin with. |
What is an interesting/helpful fact you learned about LU after you came here? |
I think Lawrence’s history with Downer College in Milwaukee is really cool and something that most Lawrentions don’t know about. Milwaukee Downer used to be an all women’s college in Milwaukee. In 1964 they merged with Lawrence and we got a lot of their faculty, students, and resources. There are many things on campus named after people and places from Downer, and the Downer women have all of the reunions on our campus. |

Which is your favorite resident hall? |
Plantz has huge single rooms. My room this summer was wonderful. I’m a messy person so having lots of floor space to pile things up on is a must for me. Even at my messiest there’s still room for me to walk around my piles of stuff. |
Where is your favorite study spot? |
Reading on a blanket in the grass is wonderful, if only possible for a short time in the fall and spring. When the weather is bad and generally just squirrel away in my room under many blankets and pretend to be studying hard while really talking or watching movies with my roommate |
What is your favorite thing to do in Appleton? |
Getting student rush tickets at the Performing Arts Center is great. Tickets are cheap and the shows are always good even if you do have to sit in the weird seats no one else wanted. |

If you were a fruit, which would you be? |
A Fig. I have found that only very quirky or eccentric people like figs. Like figs I seem to be a magnet for quirky and eccentric people. It seems that everyone I know has something about them that is remarkably unique (and a little bit strange.) I would be a fig because we seem to share the same great company and I know that if I were papaya I would have to give them up which is a thought I can hardly bear. |
If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would you be? |
Brick Red. When I was little I used to LOVE the Brick Red crayon. I would color everything (houses, clouds, flowers, people) Brick Red. One day in the third grade we were drawing pictures of Spotted Owls (an endangered species in Oregon) and I colored mine Brick Red. My teacher told me that we were not drawing fanciful owls, we were drawing Spotted Owls and told me to start again. I refused and had to stay in from recess. In the third grade I stood by my choice of Brick Red and even though it may not be as hip as Macaroni and Cheese, Inch Worm, or Jazzberry Jam, I stand by my choice today as well. |
