Favorite Beloit tradition: Senior Gala! Right before Commencement, there’s a big party for the graduating seniors with just Beloit faculty and staff. It’s a great way to send the seniors off in style, and you never know who you’ll see on the dance floor.

Favorite place to eat in Beloit: Jerry’s Cafe for breakfast. My favorite is the Avocado Eggs Benedict.

Beloit class to take: Political Science 160: Intro to International Politics. If I were to go back to college, I’d definitely take this class.
