Tell us a little about yourself. |
| [SJS]: | I have lived in Greensboro and served as Department Chair at UNCG for the past 14 + years. I serve as the Director of Graduate Study. I have enjoyed both the university and city immensely. Prior to moving to North Carolina, I was a professor at the University of Minnesota for 15 years. |

What do you like to do for leisure? |
| [SJS]: | By far, my most enjoyable activity is spending time with my family. I enjoy camping, walking trails, swimming, reading, and watching movies, to name a few. I am also an avid tennis player. |
| [Interviewer]: | Why should students come to UNCG to study in Community and Therapeutic Recreation? |
| [SJS]: | UNCG is a mid-sized university, located in the beautiful city of Greensboro. You will find our faculty to be a collection of warm and caring individuals, and some of the finest teachers and mentors that you will ever meet. There is a good deal of research and grant writing taking place here, and a large amount of interdisciplinary scholarship. In addition to a great department, we are on a very dynamic campus, with excellent recreational and sports opportunities, and a great student recreation center. The climate is exceptional, with extremely long spring and fall seasons (remember, I moved here from Minnesota!). It is a joy to be at this great university and chairing the Department of Community and Therapeutic Recreation. Come see for yourself! |
