Timely Teaching
Some teachers were known for their obsessive-compulsive grading scales. Some teachers were known for their tiring, monotone lectures. Some teachers were known for their random pop-quizzes. However, not all teachers fell into those categories. David L. Griffin, assistant dean for diversity and associate professor in secondary education, was known for something more personal, more unique: his watches and matching pens.
Although he started intentionally collecting watches in college, his passion for them started in earlier years.
“My father was a career person in the air force,” Griffin said. “We traveled all over the world, and I bought watches. It became a hobby. It became fun. It was a hobby to match them with my clothes. Then I thought it would be cool to match the pens too.”
