IDS 105: Strategies for Academic Success

 

Transfer students are paired up with John Repplinger who can help with their research. John has served as a librarian at Willamette University since 2002. 

 

When not spending time with his wife and three children, he is often painting, gardening, reading, hiking, biking, playing soccer, basketball, tennis, rockhounding, or snapping photos of scenic landscapes. He is also the author and illustrator of the fantasy series, Amara and the Giant's Ring.
