This is a new feature that I have started for the website, as a way to get to know your fellow classmates. If anyone would like to participate and answer these 20 questions, send an email to avbriggs@mtech.edu. For this first installment, Ruthie was nice enough to be my guinea pig and answer some probing questions!
I'm not in any sports, but I do referee High School volleyball and basketball so I'm a member of MOA, the Montana Officials Association. On campus I'm in Chi Alpha, Society of Women Engineers, and Overflow.
2. What is your favorite academic subject?
It's hard to pick a favorite subject, but it's probably been Physics so far. Math comes in a close second because I really like my teacher in Linear Algebra, Chip Todd.
3. Who is your favorite faculty member?
My favorite faculty member would have to be Raj Kasinath. He is an excellent teacher and explains things very well, but also has some crazy stories and makes class fun. Every Friday we have "story time" after lecture :)
4. Where is your favorite place to eat in Butte?
My favorite place to eat in Butte in the Hummingbird Cafe. Their food is all organic and fresh so it's extra delicious! I have loved every single thing I've ordered from their menu. They make a coffee concoction called the "Red Eye" that'll jump start you like nothing else!
5. Where is your favorite place to party in Butte?
I don't really "party," because I prefer to get out of the city on weekends. Butte is great though because we're so close to many cool hiking and camping areas.
6. Where do you see your career in 10 years?
My career in 10 years!? Oh gosh. I'll possibly be working at the Naval Shipyard in San Diego. I interned at the Naval base in Seattle this summer and that was way cool!
7. What is your favorite summer activity?
My favorite summer activity is hiking, or if I can borrow one: dirtbiking! I used to have one but I sold it when I moved for college. I sure miss it though.

My favorite winter activity is basically the only thing you can do in winter, snowboard!
