About Kelley Quinn

My name is Kelley and I worked in the Office of Undergraduate Admission the summer before my senior year. I kept a “blog” (quotation marks are the operative punctuation here, because I never really understood what exactly blogging meant) while I was here!

Activities on Campus: Orientation Area Director, 7th Grade Sketch Comedy, club field hockey team, Undergraduate Honor Council member, The Collective (a hodge-podge performance group), tutoring in a local school, employee at the Writing Resources Center, Steer Clear driver

Note: The moment of exuberance was photographed by Rosh Patel, an ’08 grad, in front of Sun Sonata, a work of art by Gene Davis that composes one wall of the College’s very own Muscarelle Museum of Art. (Tubes of dyed water lit by fluorescent lights by night … solar energy collection system by day!)

Posted: 04 Jun 2008 I have a problem with nostalgia, and am struck by attacks of nostalgia more frequently than most. My only thought for the day

Serv-ice, ice, baby

Before I say anything else, I'll just get it out of the way and address the white elephant in the room--you're welcome for the Vanilla Ice
