If you could have dinner with two people, one dead and one living, who would they be? Why?

Living: Robert Putnam- I have studied social capital in the past and find it incredibly intriguing. I would love to talk with him about his research in community development and education.

Not Living: Jessica Tandy- I just really thought she was so cute in Fried Green Tomatoes.

What would you do if you didn’t have to work? Buy an around the world ticket with the goal of traveling and volunteering.

Favorite Colorado Getaway: Hut Trip in the winter.
