I’m Dr. Brandy Stark, faculty for SPC since 2000. My main campus is Downtown where I teach both Humanities and Religious Studies. I love learning and am continuing to study for a second post-PhD graduate degree in Liberal Studies. No matter how much one has learned there is always something new in the world to study.

One of my favorite courses is REL 2300 (World Religions). It was the first class I taught for the college 14 years ago and is a mainstay of my teaching roster. The ability to study the people and culture is phenomenal, and even though this is a survey course of the major world religion we can learn so much about each other. It is truly a fantastic course to teach.

One of my other degrees is in Classics,which is the study of Greek and Roman culture. It is a love that is near and dear to me. I’m a fan of the Roman Empire and have traveled through Italy a few times before to poke through the ruins, religious centers, and even a bit of the fashion. Italy has such a rich history overlaid upon it through the centuries that I am ecstatic to go back again this summer.

However, this does leave my family caring for my pugs and small pocket pets. Students must remind me to buy wonderful gifts to bring home — my pets are a handful. I do plan to create a journal around Homer the Surrogate Pug, a plush doll that has traveled with me around the world. He photographs well and it’s a fun way to convey information to friends and family at home.

See you all on Tuesday at the Meet-n-Greet!
