Current Position:
Associate Professor of Sociology, Hobart and William Smith
I give to the Geneva Scholarship Associates – a scholarship fund for students from Geneva who want to attend HWS – partly because it's one way to repay all those who invested in me and my education. I could not have graduated from Oberlin College without generous financial aid, and it's important to me to give back. But mainly, it's just self-interest: over the years, I have had many students from Geneva in my courses, and they are invariably bright, interesting young people who are curious about the world and how they can make a difference in it. I want more students like that in my classroom!
