"Dr. McAlhany is my favorite professor. I go into his classes feeling like I have not prepared enough, and I am sometimes proven right, but then the discussions that he brings into the class make me want to completely revisit whatever it was that we were talking about. He has taught me to try and think more clearly about what it is that I find most interesting."
— Carman Anderson, '12
