Professor Profile

Q: Where are you from? A: I was born in Ohio, but we moved around a lot. My parents and family still live in Florida, so I guess I can say that I grew up mostly there. Q: Where did you go to school? A: I went to Liberty just up the road in Lynchburg for my undergraduate degree.

Give me a break

In one week, thousands of co-eds will flood Spring Break destinations like Panama City, Florida and Cancun to swig bad booze and "party with Real World celebrities," only to return to school with a few blurred photos, a Margaritaville shot glass and a re-mixed version of the same hangover they had before they left.
