Professor Damrosch's Post Valentine's Day Dating Game


Dear Students,

As many of you know, I am no stranger to being an authority on romance. That's why after the chocolates have all been unwrapped, after the pillows have been dried of the tears of resentment, and after we have all mistaken politeness for workplace flirtation... I will once again host my Post Valentine's Day Dating Game, featuring the talents of Annie Dumas, Ryan Stratton, Alan Lidogoster, and Lukas Mezinsky. There will be two rounds, round 1 will have three bachelors competing for a date and round 2 will have three bachelorettes competing for a date. I will also be on hand to offer my critical thoughts of the season.

Professor Damrosch's Fun Literary Fact: Shakespeare was the first to coin the term "pillow talk."

Kudos,
