Teaching

Will was well known for his unique style of teaching, so much so that his students created a Twitter account to celebrate the advice and humor he shared in the classroom. It is also well known that he cared deeply about his students, helping many of them navigate personal challenges while building trust that would catalyze life long friendships.

About six months before he passed, he recorded a class via Google Hangouts that we think provides a very special view into his unique style of teaching and the special relationship he had with his students. He offers his personal suggestions for summer reading near the end of the video and shares a lovely moment playing with his roommate's dog.

We know that many people miss Will and we hope this video helps you feel near him again. And for those who did not know him, a brief glimpse into the unique personality of the wonderful man we lost.
