What is your favorite Wittenberg memory?
My favorite memory of Wittenberg has yet to happen, this place just keeps getting better and better. However, I do have wonderful memories that have been created by some particular people whom I have encountered as a student and an employee.

Why Witt Nation?
Witt Nation, why, you need not ask. I love it! It is great connecting with alumni all across the country. It is even better to watch the university community pull together to make Witt Nation a reality.

What is your involvement on the trip?
Ideas, ideas, ideas...I am not doing much with it this year...yet! Soon I will be the queen of emailing, publications and post-card drops. I have been granted permission to travel, in the van, this year...fun! Rafferty and I will also assume the role of posting police.

What is a lesson you learned while at Wittenberg?
I learned several important lessons; how to be genuine, caring and compassionate; basically to treat people the way you would want to be treated. The university experience created me, who I am today. How to train a rat and how to ride 200 miles in total silence. The best lesson that I had to teach was "just because you have checks, you don't necessarily have money."

Your roadtrip playlist:
I believe in a diverse music selection; Josh Groban to Akon to Christopher Cross!
