paper and creative project presentations in the feast and famine class are underway and we had some very fun presentations! pictured here: a video game about eating as a medieval nun and a mukbang youtube video of homemade medieval recipes!

the feast and famine class played a table top dice game in class today, using dice rolls to put together a medieval feast! 10/10 the most fun and animated day of class!

Got to represent Nazareth University tonight as a sponsor for the Rochester Museum and Science Center’s Uncorked and On Tap event! I am so happy to work at Naz and so happy to live in the city of Rochester, with everything it has to offer. Cheers!

@greenleejw.bsky.social visited the Feast and Famine class today to talk about, you guessed it, EELS!

Not only did the students love it and keep telling me what a cool experience this was, but I got to hear more ab the work of one of my favorite “internet friends”! Thanks so much for visiting!
