What was your favorite hang out place as a student?
Delta Delta Delta sorority, The Regulator (now Kilroy’s Sports), Nick’s, events surrounding Little 500, the Business School library — a great place to study and work on "A" Core projects.

What do you enjoy most about living in a college town?
Incredible array of people, places, events, and opportunities — having grown up in Bloomington, I took a lot of this for granted as a child, but it is such a delight to see Bloomington through the eyes of current students, their parents, and members of HHE who absolutely crave a return visit to Bloomington.

Where did you live?
As a freshman at Forest Quad (all women then) and at the Tri-Delta sorority.

What is your fondest memory of your years as an IU student?
Being in downtown Bloomington the night of the 1976 NCAA Championship game. The place was electric: people hanging from stoplights, on top of cars, hugging, singing, and fortunately no major incidents. It was like someone just opened up a floodgate of people! I also have to underscore great memories of business school professors like Ron Stephenson, Don Granbois, etc. and some outstanding political science professors. It was a great time at Indiana University.
