Most likely to keep
you awake in class:
Steven Lawson (Business)
Professor Lawson teaches international business and takes students around the world with anecdotes. But don't fall asleep in class because he will jettison you into a foreign country without a passport or local currency.
- College of Business
Jennifer Jabson (Public Health)
Jennifer has a sparkle she presents with professionalism to the students that continuously keeps them their toes. She makes the racy topic (purely due to stigmatization) of sexual health and disease/infection awareness fun and interactive, allowing students to have a safe environment for dialogue without getting hung up on the societal issues that would otherwise block such conversations.
- Student
Child at Heart:
Richard Nafshun (Chemistry)
He is always running around the classroom making jokes and exploding things. Not to mention he always is thinking of scheming ways to do experiments at your "friend's" house and not yours. It keeps class entertaining.
- Student
Richard Nafshun teaches chemistry with such enthusiasm that you forget that its only 8:00 in the morning. Whether he is describing the historical mishaps of famous chemists or blowing up oxygen-filled balloons with a candle attached to a yard stick, he keeps his students on their toes and makes the time fly. Nafshun's ability to make the entire room roar with laughter and his tendency to laugh at his own jokes make his students happy to come back for another term.
- Student
Tucker Readdy
(Exercise & Sports Science)
He is great! He always has great energy and really wants to make learning fun. I always see him all dressed up running around campus like he is late for something.
- Student
Best Sense of Humor:
Andrew Blaustein (Zoology)
I worked for his research team for a while and got to see how funny he can be even outside of lectures.

Biggest Smile:
Nancy Squires (Mechanical Engineering):
