"Michel Rocci taught "Islamic Tradition" in 1989 which was a fascinating class that taught me about armchair geography and how other cultures can be painted to be villains. One of my favorite days was when Professor Rocci had our Arab international students sit in the front of the room and we could ask them any questions we had about their culture. There were a lot of laughs, and it drew all of us closer together as humans having a shared experience. Understanding prevailed and walls started coming down within our own classroom. Everything about that class was enlightening, and it helped form my views and attitudes about embracing differences and multicultural communities. Flash forward 15 years later, my favorite international trip was going to Egypt and spending quality time with the wonderful people in the region." -Julie Gates '90

"Dr. Douglas Cannon. Very intelligent." -Roy Hurd '90

"Dr. Barry Anton - I loved his style of teaching. Beverly Connor - was very warm and approachable. Anne Wood - made chemistry understandable. There was also some teachers I loved, but I'm not recalling their names.....one taught religion, one taught genetics, and there were a couple more in the psychology dept that I liked." -Virginia Carter '90
