Today it seems every time I turn on the television, read a headline or scroll through my Facebook feed, I see the name Miley Cyrus.

Growing up, I’ve never been into the Halloween festivities as my peers were. As a kid, I was terrified of the thought of vampires and monsters. I remember going to a Burger King when I was young, and I got a vampire toy with my meal. I was scared for a couple of days because I thought I would see a vampire in my room trying to suck my blood.

The W has had many great professors to come and go, but it means something special when they chose to stay. Dr. Thomas C. Richardson, currently Dean of The College of Arts and Sciences, has been a faculty member for 26 years. He has recently decided to continue his studies and research on Scottish writers which allows him to travel across the country. The Spectator had the honor of sitting down with him to talk about his interest, his job and why he calls The W his home.
