Thank you for the plug for English majors. As an English major in health care leadership , I use my Denison degree every day. Leadership requires communication and critical thinking –both were part of my Denison education.

Congratulations Matt! I t is always good to read about nice people who are doing well. I did not recognize you in your picture. You look like a grown up. When did that happen? I wish you the best, you have earned it.

The tone of the story on English majors, (and history majors), only becoming teachers disturbs me.
Our elementary and secondary schools need more of the “Best and the Brightest.”
We need to encourage outstanding young men and women from colleges such as Denison to become teachers!

You left out Mark Dowie, Class of ’62, who, as an investigative reporter in the late ’60s exposed the Ford Pinto as a Molotov cocktail on wheels. He was publisher of Rolling Stone Magazine and has authored several books on environmental concerns. He was teaching at U. of California, Berkeley, recently, in the Journalism School, I believe, or the School of Management.

I started my career in book publishing in the summer of 1986 and have never looked back. It’s getting more and more interesting with all the new ways of selling content – but the love of the written word was nurtured at Denison as an English major.
