When the students and faculty at the Honors College were forced to hide in the conference room, it was [Honors College professor] Dan Bubb who led the efforts to barricade both of the doors, instructing the other professors and advisors to push bookcases against the doors and asking for belts to hold the hinges closed. Once the danger was over and we were able to grab our things, Dr. Bubb thought to bring back chocolate chip cookies from his office to share with everyone, all the while offering us words of encouragement and support. Dr. Bubb is truly a hero, and I am proud to have him as an Honors College professor.
