Your favorite place on campus?
The kindergarten space! I love greeting the kids when they come in every morning and watching them grow in the classroom. The space is colorful, inclusive and shows everything they’re learning.

The pond at Snyder Park, which is right near where I grew up. It’s very peaceful and relaxing.
