Over Coffee

Every edition, we spend an afternoon at the diverse campus crossroads that is Reeve Memorial Union and pose a question to some of the faculty, staff, students and visitors we meet.

Who is your favorite teacher of all time?

“My favorite teacher is from college. She is my favorite because most of the time you get to the end of a class and you don’t even know your neighbor. But in her class, we came together and within two weeks we really knew each other.”
— Mushe Subulwa, Oshkosh

“Probably my sixth-grade teacher. He was the crazy, old guy with the white hair who would sing the belly-button song in the middle of class to get our attention. He was fun.”
— Jessica Meulemans, Senior, Elementary Education/ESL

“I’m going to say Mrs. Bruski from Oshkosh West High School. She would give me candy everyday when I went into her classroom.”
— Anthony Rios, Freshman, Engineering

“My favorite teacher was Laura Jean Baker, and she taught creative writing.
I liked her because she would do a lot of group work.”
— Claire Weigandt, Senior, Criminal Justice

“My favorite teacher of all time was Father Wilson during college. I had him for western civilization, and he kind of opened my mind to asking questions and thinking about things differently.”
— Patrick Wilkinson, Director of Polk Library
