Reed Switchboard
Gumby + Friends
Backstory: So on the Thursday before Working Weekend the Switchboard students go together to brainstorm what they wanted to plan for the big day. Their idea was to dress Brent '14 up as Gumby; hand out ringpops and pub mix; and ask students and alumni "What can you teach Gumby?" and then pin these answers onto Gumby. So that's what they did.
Huge props to Leah, Martha, Brent, Rebecca, Paul, Kieran and Alex for pulling this crazy and delightful idea off.
Here's the incredible list of things Reedies can teach:
President John Kroger: About Heidegger's Sein und Zeit
Amy Bogran '89: "How to do your taxes"
Doug Kerns (Reed Parent): "The beautiful and simple dance of electrons in silicon"
Anand Panchal '13: Hindi/Gujarati
Derek Owen '97: "How to play the first few bars of Carmina Burana on the ukulele"
Will '13" "How to love"
Anna Fimmel '16: "All about neurons"
Kristen Biers-Jones '80: "How to take a blood pressure"
Sierra: "How to long board and power slide"
Ulrich Loft '94: German, cardiology
Daniel Baggott '95: software
Karen Silbert '13: Brain surgery (not)
Anonymous: explosives
Thomas Burns '98: "How to apply for a Fulbright"
John Cushing '67: "How to play the penny whistle"
Robert Smith '89: "How to foxtrot"
Zach Brown '13: YOLO
Mark Chen '95: "How to scrounge Mt. Rushmore Visitor Center successfully"
Jennifer Jordan '89: "How to start up"
Frida Cruz: "How to make a dream machine"
