Roadshow Pictures, Part 2

Four weeks, seven cities, 13,000 miles ... Do I win the Amazing Job Race? I don't know. I included comments about each place with the pictures. I'm not going to describe how I felt about each department, position, salary, or my chances - the comments are just about the place. I think that's best for a public page. I accepted an offer to remain at Bellarmine University in the department of mathematics. You can see Bellarmine photos on this page.

Laguardia airport, the gateway to Sacred Heart University in Fairfield Connecticut.

The Math department office. My camera batteries died, so Sacred Heart pictures are lower quality shots from my cameraphone.

Almost all the classrooms are in one large connected building.

Yes, they're Catholic, though I don't think that's a priest.

One of the dormitories. The campus surprised me with its space. I thought Connecticut was too pricey to have much land.

On my way to the airport I shot a farewell.

For my next visit, I was booked on United through O'Hare. The monitor message is redundant. Of course it's delayed.

I stayed in a bed and breakfast with a rather unusual canopy.

I was in Tacoma, Washington, visiting the University of Puget Sound. The science building is under construction so the faculty have offices in trailers.

They also built a glass-walled gazebo for a coffee shop.

The campus is a very nice Tudor Gothic.

Here, it's 9:30 AM, and the sun is shining, unusual for February.

Now it's 10:30 AM and more typical weather on the Puget Sound.

The Tacoma Narrows bridge. The current version does not have resonance problems.

I booked the flight for my last visit, heading through Las Vegas. Even the airport has slot machines.

I won 2 dollars playing video poker.

I found this sign at Cal Poly Pomona amusing.

Southern California has nice views. Plus, I could wear shorts on Saturday in February, tough to pass up.

Yet another math department hallway.

Building number 8 houses Math. All buildings are numbered at a polytechnic school.
IMG_0943.JPG
The campus was built on land that was once the ranch of the Kellogg family.

Yes, the cereal people. This is the original stables. The campus has new stables now, plus a farm.

I had to look hard to find something ugly, but here it is.

To make up for that, here's the view from the hotel, down from the ranch-house overlooking the campus.
