Pitzer ProfilesSam Greene '10| Montclair, CA
“I am incredibly happy to be attending Pitzer,” he says. “Here, I got to shake the hands of the faculty on my first day. I am convinced that I will get a better education at Pitzer as compared with a larger school.” Sam is enjoying his classes in sociology, language and gender, Victorian America and a first-year seminar course. At this stage in his college career, he has an interest in the study of sign language, which he articulates is not as mined out as many other areas of scholarship. Sam enjoyed participating in the week-long Dickens Project conference in the summer as its youngest attendee. He relates that conference convener, John Jordon, said that people who like Dickens are generally good people. If other Dickens enthusiasts are similar to Sam, there is truth here. His former high school professor, Michael Callahan comments, “Sam possesses that rare combination of attributes that combine a brilliant and alive intellect with a compassionate heart.” —Susan Andrews
