Alter-Egos

How well do you really know the people you chat with in the breakroom or see in the lecture hall?


From Clark Kent and Superman. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Beyoncé and Sasha Fierce. Alter-egos are not just for superheroes and superstars. In a quest to spark discovery of the multifaceted personas around the institution, we invited faculty and staff to reveal their alter-egos. The responses poured in, and we were not disappointed.

Discover the inspiring feats of a few campus members who work to make lives better, both on and off campus.
