LINC Live!

Every Tuesday evening you’ll find students gathering for Cookies and Conversation in Kathy Greaves’ apartment in Hawley-Buxton.

“What excites me most about living among students is helping them realize that faculty members are human,” says Kathy Greaves. “If I’m approachable, it breaks down the stereotype of ‘Ican’t talk to my professor.’ And when they do make connections with faculty, their…
