“Business Ethics with Beth
Richardson. Some people would think 'Ethics - why do you like that
class!?' It wasn't the class as much as it was the professor that made
the class interesting. She brings in real-life and real-world examples
into the classroom, putting the students into the situations and making
us come up with solutions and verdicts on the ethical situation. The
best and most memorable part of Beth's Business Ethics class was the
mock trial. Being a judge for the mock trial was one of the best
classroom experiences I've had here.

“For the past two Februarys I have gone with Dr. Erikson
hiking on Mount Washington. They were day hikes and we did an acid
deposition study. We wanted to find out whether or not the pollutants in
the atmosphere were in the snow and what effects that might have on the
mountain once the snow melts or on the organisms in the snow. ”
