nature.&nbsp; I always have an eye out for creatures, big and small.&nbsp; Something else&nbsp; a lot of people might not know is I am a big fan of horror and science fiction movies.&nbsp; My two favorite movies are Jaws and Avatar.<br \/>\n<strong>Why Vassar:&nbsp;<\/strong>I think for me the question is why Vassar still, 26 years later.&nbsp; Vassar has for me been a place to be surrounded by good people committed to creating the space for students to become who they want to be.&nbsp;Vassar has also allowed me the space to create transformative spaces and processes for students and others.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border-width: 0;color: gray;border-top: 3px double #09692c\"\/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color:
