What is one of your favorite Delta moments?
Watching the second year's play at the Fall Symposium, written by Laura Reed and directed by Andrew Knoph; watching the improv-- also my most disturbing moment...

Why does every Delta teacher say "Trust Us"?
We are like Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid. Our motives may not be clear in the beginning, but you will eventually understand why we make you wax our cars.

How do Deltas differ from non-Deltas?
They are often more creative, passionate, altruistic, and extroverted. And they know it.

Why did you choose to work for Delta?
I love the Delta interdisciplinary philosophy. Nothing should be taught in isolation. I appreciate the emphasis on worldliness, and I enjoy the loyal, close-knit nature of the program. And I just can't get enough of M-9 on a balmy day, especially with the black mold. I love esoteric inside jokes.
