April 19, 2012
Name: Kendra Wong
Hometown: Granite Bay, Calif.
Department: Business
How did you land at SNC?
I have President Gillette to thank for being here at SNC. I had heard through Schuyler Harrison (Development) that the Business Department had a new Chair, so I submitted my resume and a cover letter. I did not hear anything for a while, so I had actually written it off. MLK day, I was leaving Alpine Meadows and had a voicemail from Dr. Gillette indicating that he needed someone to teach the Principles of Corporate Finance class that started the next day. I went straight from the mountain to TCES and had an interview with him. For future reference, one should not go to an interview in their ski gear.

Name: Andy Rost, Ph.D
Hometown: Truckee, Calif.
Department: Science and Technologies
What brought you to Sierra Nevada College?
After about 10 years of guiding and teaching for Outward Bound, various rafting companies, outdoor education companies and Proctor Academy, my wife and I were looking to settle down a bit. I wanted to go back to school and study rivers and the University of Nevada, Reno had a nationally ranked Hydrology program, so we thought Truckee would be a good place to sink some roots. A friend of mine from Truckee had been teaching a little for Sierra Nevada College and asked me to substitute for him once. This was probably in 2002. That was when I was first exposed to SNC. In 2003 I co-taught Lake Tahoe Basin Ecosystems with Steve Ellsworth. At that point in time, SNC was on my radar for a potential place for me to invest myself after I finished my doctorate. I taught some more courses and ultimately felt that my style and interests fit well into the SNC culture.
