Cults, Music, Books, & Fitness!
A last-minute desperate attempt to entice students to join my music club worked last year for the spring 2015 semester:
One year later (March 2016) I hope it works again. Running this club has I think been the highlight of my time at SMU to date. It’s a wonderful opportunity to share my love of music with students.
