Dear Willard Community,

Our faculty profile for the week features Dr. Fran Framm, Economics. Since arriving to Willard College a decade ago, she has taught all of her classes in the swimming pool’s deep end. Flotation devices are not allowed. Because class is in a swimming pool, students cannot take notes, Dr. Framm cannot use a chalk or white board. The acoustics are terrible. Sometimes she submerges and talks under water. Exams are also done in the swimming pool and students use kickboards as desks. Points are deducted if the exam gets wet. Another example of teaching excellence!

Who will we feature next week? Send us your suggestions!
