Jason SnartEnglish
"I love discussing books and ideas with people, which is, to me, the most enjoyable part of being a teacher. I want my students to develop an interest in the texts and ideas we talk about, but also gain an appreciation for how language itself is, or can be, so powerful."

David KramerCulinary and Hospitality Management
"I hope my students take away a basic foundation of what to expect when they begin working in the hospitality industry, no matter at what capacity. I hope they take away a few life skills as well. It's not all about the food and service; it's about the people who prepare and serve that experience."
