What else would you like students to know about you?
I'm new to Augsburg but not to Minnesota. I taught for three years at Carleton and one year each at Macalester and St. Olaf. Before that I taught for eight years at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, which included a one-year sabbatical in Spain and Italy.
