What's this?

Chiming in.. Alexander was an amazing lecturer


I still have my notes from his History of England class. The facts contained in them read as well as many textbooks I've reviewed on the subject. He also supported me personally in a life changing academic pursuit, and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Honorable mentions:

In addition to being a great instructor, Bill Mackie (History) was a great personal influence who served as a de facto advisor to me. He was very instrumental in my admission to graduate school.

Although he was "just" a Graduate Assistant, Brad DeGeorge (Public Admin) taught Administrative Theory and Practice in a way that I found personally brilliant. Had one of my first true "Aha!" moments in his class.

Dick Zody (Public Admin) was a fantastic instructor as well. He had served as budget director under two governors and was obviously brilliant. But he was also down to earth and took a personal interest in seeing us do well.

David Rubinstein (Management). worth his own header, which I think I'll add.

And I also had the privilege of learning Public Fund Accounting directly from Minnis Ridenour, which was a truly amazing and valuable experience.
