This week’s “Heard it through the GrapeVINE” is Professor Colin Halloran, a professor in the English department. Halloran wears other hats besides that of teacher; he is also veteran of the war in Afghanistan and renowned poet with a love for art. We’re grateful for this opportunity to learn a little more about this professor and his musical tastes at the moment.
“I was going through my morning routine of commuting and listening to music all through my commute, so I picked songs that are a little upbeat, not necessarily in their lyrics but definitely in their music,” said Halloran. “I picked songs with a fast pace and a driving beat that get me amped up for my day, and by the time I get to Fairfield, I’m ready to go.”
