In every city I travel to, I have a favorite building or place. In New York City, I love the Morgan Library and Museum and the City Museum of New York. In New Orleans, it’s Jackson Square. In San Diego, it’s La Jolla. In Washington D.C., it’s Arlington Cemetery and the Library of Congress. Books …

History in Atlanta’s Backyard

Tolkien: More Film Than Movie

Last night, I had the chance to screen Tolkien, a biopic about one of the greatest minds in literature and fantasy. I thought to myself, this beautifully crafted film is going to get lost among all of the summer blockbuster movies, and Fox Searchlight made a horrible decision not to release it during “nomination season” - between Thanksgiving …

Advice for the Newly Inducted

My parents and brother at my MBA graduation in May 2007

I wish I could get in a time machine and redo parts of my life. I loved college for the most part, but now working on a college campus, I feel like I could have done more and taken advantage of opportunities available only in college. Professionally, I know I could have done more when …
