5 Question Game by nistefan
1) What is your favorite MHC tradition? Why?
I’d have to go with Mountain Day. Something about the unexpectedness of it … I still sneak out of work and go out to see nature and eat ice cream. I even convinced fellow alumna Kelly Huggins, an honest hard worker to the core, to sneak out of her lab at the UW a few years ago and join me for ice cream.
2) Favorite M&C?
Chocolate Chip Cookies, especially the edges. I wasn’t a big fan of the chocolate chip part though. I know, weird. But nothing beats the chewy dough and milk combo.
3) Favorite class? / Favorite professor?
My favorite class was a 300-level seminar with Professor Andy Lass. We had to pretend we were the thinkers and artists from the 1940s. It was wild: there were no lectures and no rules, we had to become the surrealists, the modern dancers, etc. I wish someone had told me what fun 300-level seminars were before my senior year! My favorite professors are all professors at MHC. Their love and dedication to what they do, their respect for the students, their dedication to quality teaching is unparalleled.
4) Favorite spot on campus to unwind? / Your favorite spot on campus?
The Wa-Shin-An Japanese Tea House and Meditation Garden. I wish I’d gone there more often.
5) What would the you from college be surprised to know about your life today?
That I can teach a killer yoga-meditation-breathing-leadership class, that I fell for an Indian boy and that I live in LA.
