Why did you decide to go on LC2DC?
Some of the greatest memories I have from my college experience came from trips I took with students, faculty, and staff. Being part a college community gives us opportunities to see and do things that others would not typically have. I look forward to being a part of those memories for our students. Plus, I LOVE D.C. There is so much to see there and you can feel the power of our nation's Capitol resonating through the city.  


What most excites you about LC2DC?
The chance to spend some time with students, faculty, and staff. Also, experiencing D.C. with those who have never been there before is exciting. I love showing people some of the interesting things I have found over the numerous times I have been to D.C. One of the sites we will visit is the Old Post Office. The bell tower is the third highest point in D.C. and you can go up it to see the city. It's amazing.


What do you hope students will get out of LC2DC?
I hope the students will develop some amazing relationships with other students and faculty and staff. I hope they understand better what the United States is about; from our history to our present - seeing what our nation has chosen to honor through its museums and monuments - and experiencing the power that resides throughout the city. 


Anything else unique/interesting you'd like to share?
D.C. has always seemed to be the perfect combination of my interests. I majored in History and Art and studied Political Science and Government in my Masters program. D.C. is the center of my Venn Diagram of studies.
