Reynolds Young Writers Workshop, where he taught and mentored gifted high school writers; he is a sympathetic, good-humored and smart young teacher; Chris also has demonstrated exceptional leadership as Poetry Editor for Exile and as Editor-in-Chief of Mind of Your Own Magazine; on the student staff of Campus and Residential Life, he is an understanding and helpful Head Resident; Chris also has demonstrated his passion for the performing arts, performing as the lead dancer of 'The Nutcracker' for two years in a row."
