Why I Teach at SPU

Todd Rendleman, Professor of Communication

“Before his iconic role in 《好的赌博软件推荐》, Jon Hamm taught drama at John Burroughs High School in St. 路易. Before international stardom, Sting taught English, music, and soccer at St. Catherine's Convent School in Newcastle. Faye Dunaway says that if she hadn’t become an actress, she would have been a teacher. 

“Why do people who achieve the highest honors in their professions often think of themselves, 的心, 作为老师? I think that on some level, they understand that teaching changes lives. I love teaching because it allows me to share my ideas with others — and to be changed through the exchange.”
