I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 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\u2019s a fun way to convey information to friends and family at home.<\/p>\n

See you all on Tuesday at the Meet-n-Greet!<\/p>\n

Details:<\/p>\n

When:<\/b> Tuesday, April 1, 2014 \u2013 6:00-7:30 pm<\/p>\n

Where:<\/b> Clearwater Campus \u2013 Room ES 324<\/p>\n
