Marooned: Conversations with the Class of 1990

Saj has a gift for being in the right place at the right time. Usually.
A resident of the whole world, he's quick to recognize where his adventurous lifestyle commenced. (Hint: it's somewhere near 5625 S. University.)

UC Alum to the rescue! Lee has launched a cure for a covid kind of year: the interactive Worldwide Map of Love, at www.wherewemet.org.  Add your story, pass on the link, make the world more lovely.  Thank you Lee for a delightful interview.

Finding joy and choosing love in times of the unknown. (Also, getting kicked out of the Museum of Science and Industry).  

The Scav origin story and....a potentially explosive dolphin vagina. An exceedingly fascinating and fun hour with Diane Kelly.

The blond guy, math genius, with the black fingernails. Still way ahead of his time.

Strongs roots, an inquisitive mind, and an appetite for adventure -  and a small pile of broken hockey sticks inside her front door.

Live in the moment with the ebullient Peter de Jong (even if he is a Bruins fan).

From Oxfordshire with horses, bagpipes, a Chicago pub rec, and a 100% badass charity.

Exploring the mind-body connection.

Savoring every single moment, Steph is a portrait in presence and courage - and how to pass a class even when you flat out blow off the midterm.

From South Florida to Chicago to New Orleans to Africa. Never a dull moment with the fearless Emma. (photo coming soon!)

Keepin it real in LA, she's a woman with east coast roots, a midwestern heart, and global business interests.

Ever wonder what it takes to raise 6 - yes SIX - boys? A healthy dose of midwestern perspective, a helluva work ethic, and a whole lotta heart. 

Four kids, two million air miles, one fabulous career. 

*(sorry for about 5 seconds of silence around the 7:30 minute mark! ugh, tech...what is missing is Samir revealing that he lived in Burton Judson for two years).

Teacher, scientist, bass guitar player, urban gardener, mother, and excellent binge-watch-series-recommender. Beth, you're the complete package.

Empowering girls, running for local office, exploring America and looking to the founding fathers for inspiration. Christine brings it all, and more. 

When transfer students procrastinate, they end up in Hyde Park...forever. (Which honestly, sounds pretty appealing to me).

Apparently there was a dorm called "Broadview" and it was home to a fun-loving crew of over-achievers. Thanks for an enlightening interview, Brad.

Cats, cops, connections, a stellar career and comical college stories.

This interview left me wishing I'd hung out with Mike in college. Just grateful that I did get to see him at the peak of his acting career in Dracula.

Hands down, the best frat party DJ of the late 1980s.

Also, be sure to watch Sam's Moth Story Slam about how he ended up at the UC:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM359M0fA1k

Thanks Sam!

Love blossomed in Woodward. 

Some seriously interesting insights on how focus + anxiety = productivity. Thanks for a very fun first interview, Shirley!
