Jeevan Gurung
- Professor of English
"What I love about teaching is that I get to learn from my students as much as they learn from me. We push each other's boundaries and force ourselves to think beyond our comfort zone. Whether we are reading or writing, we challenge ourselves by asking who is telling the story, whose story is being told and how it is being told. And more often than not, I have found that it's my students' personal stories that inform, challenge and enrich my approach to teaching."
