“Dr. Nicole Tabor [former associate professor of English] and Dr. Martha Reid [professor emerita of English] were the most influential teachers
I had during my time at Moravian. They challenged us to think differently and to step outside of our comfort zones to find deeper and more meaningful connections. No one but Dr. Reid could have made me feel comfortable enough to do an interpretive dance to a poem in front of the class.”
—Sam Anderson ’00

“Dr. Alan Herr [former professor of English]. He was totally involved in literature and poetry. To hear him read and often recite from Paradise Lost was phenomenal. The faculty thought highly of “Doc” Herr, too. He was elected to carry the scepter at our commencement.”
—Bruce Doscher ’70

“Jamie Franki [former professor of graphic arts]. Everything I do as a professional graphic designer and artist comes back to the
principles, techniques, and values he instilled in us. He also inspired
a lighthearted and fun atmosphere in the studio, and he inspired us to carry that spirit into our artwork. He helped me believe in myself and my talent.”

“Dr. Carl Salter [professor of chemistry] demonstrating vibrational and rotational movement of molecules in a spinning chair.”
—Joan Taggart Koch ’72

“Dr. William Falla [emeritus adjunct professor of religion and philosophy]. He was a wonderful man who taught me what it means to be a moral and ethical person through his lessons and stories. He was always kind and treated everyone with respect. He loved Moravian and was always around campus and willing to strike up a conversation anywhere and about anything. My wife and I both had him as a professor while we were at Moravian. We loved him so much, he was the officiant at our wedding—a memory we will never forget.”
—Matthew Wisotsky ’10

“Dr. James Ravelle [professor emeritus of business and economics]. He genuinely cared about me. He helped me lay out all four years of classes to graduate and encouraged me to find my passion for human resources.”
—Natalie Marsh ’89

“Neil Wetzel [professor of music]. He made diatonic and chromatic harmony fun. He has ways of explaining complex chord progressions in ways that make sense to laypeople. He brought joy into his classroom every day and made all of us excited to get to class.”
