Living in Austria, let alone owning a business, was not something that Alison Goolsby ’93 anticipated when she attended Southwestern University. Born in California and raised in Houston, Texas, she fondly remembers her family spending one year living in the Netherlands. During that time, Goolsby learned to speak Dutch. “I guess being introduced to another language and culture early in life inspired me later on,” she says.
Christine Bowman '93, associate director of admission, first came to Southwestern in 1989 as an undergraduate student. "I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Southwestern. I really grew, both intellectually and socially," she notes. "My relationships with my Southwestern classmates are very deep. There is an intellectual connection that we made that was much more than just parties, dances and hanging out." Bowman earned a B.A. in political science with a business minor. She then attended Texas Tech University where she began working on her master's degree in public administration.
Growing up just outside of New Braunfels, Jason Geistweidt '93 enjoyed exploring his family's land. He spent quite a bit of his time searching the dry creek bed behind his house, where he often found arrowheads. Additionally, Geistweidt busied himself with painting, writing, music and drama--activities that he still enjoys today. He also made frequent trips to visit relatives in Mason, Texas, and Virginia. "I moved around a good deal and had a wide variety of experiences that stemmed from these trips," says Geistweidt.
W. Joseph King '93 is a managing director of Trinity River Capital Ventures, where he advises new companies on corporate strategy and financing. He is currently serving as an advisor to Human Emulation Robotics, a humanoid robotics company.
Eric Timm had a great job. His title alone-vice president of drama series for CBS Productions-would certainly spark conversation amongst former Southwestern classmates at his class's 10-year reunion.
The Rev. Bryan Hooper will never forget Dec. 10, 2002. He spent several hours of International Human Rights Day in jail--one of 100-odd demonstrators, including many religious leaders, arrested for blocking the entrance to the U.S. Mission of the United Nations in protest of a possible war with Iraq.
Over the last decade, the World Wide Web has drastically changed how universities disseminate information, market themselves amongst other institutions and communicate with their constituencies. Managing the development, maintenance and look of Southwestern's web site is John Kotarski's job.
