Discussion with Professor Schwipps

Professor Schwipps, a creative writing professor in his 11^th year on campus, deliberated on life after ATO. The times will be different; the same people we see daily won’t be next to us and more than likely, contact will be less often. Although numerous laughs were shared throughout the discussion, the message was clear and present; do what you can now and be selfish if needed. To get the most out of ATO, DePauw University, and essentially life, we need to find a driving passion for something. Without this passion, life is somewhat incomplete. We will no longer build igloos on our front lawn or be young again. Be selfish in finding your passion and take time off to enjoy life will you still can. Professor Schwipps and his topic brought laughter among everyone present and we enjoyed his presence greatly.

We also welcomed our newly attained faculty scholarship advisor Sandro Barros. As a first year Spanish professor at DePauw, Sandro is extremely welcoming and excited to be including in the house as our adviser. His extremely diverse background and Brazilian background provided a cultural enlightenment to all who were present.
