Meet the Arthur School Staff – Assistant Dean Linda Quick
This summer, we want to help you get to know the staff of the Arthur School a little better, so we are starting a series of profiles in each week’s Compass. Dr. Quick’s birthday is this weekend, so she is our first spotlight!

What is one thing people would find most surprising to learn about you? I used to be a tour guide for ECU. When people ask me for directions, I still go into tour guide mode and give them landmarks and random facts about ECU
Any fun plans this summer? Trip to Korea!!!! My family (me, my husband, 10-year-old son and 6 year old daughter) are spending a little over two weeks in Seoul, South Korea.
FAVORITES
Favorite course in college: Freshman Honors Seminar
Favorite ECU tradition: I love all the ECU traditions! Graduation is probably my favorite – I love seeing graduates at the ceremony, but also the fun stuff before and after like jumping in the fountain and walking under the cupula. I also love watching a baseball game from the Jungle (particularly if it’s playoff baseball), football games, Barefoot on the Mall… all the ECU things ?
Favorite place on campus: Arthur School offices and outdoors on the mall on a nice day
Favorite hangout: My backyard or outside at Pitt Street Brewery on a nice day
Favorite place to eat: China 10… the Thai red curry chicken is the best!

Favorite TV show: My all-time favorites are Big Bang Theory, Kim’s Convenience, The Middle, and The Office
Favorite band/musician: I love all 80’s music – Bon Jovi is probably my favorite
Favorite movie: Office Space

Do you have any pets? Yes, a 1½ year old lab/great Dane mix named Coal and an 18-year-old Russian tortoise named Flash
Do you have any hobbies, special interests, or fun facts that you would like to share? I like to read, travel, try new restaurants/foods, and do anything outdoors. I also drink way too much coffee.

Your words to live by: Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard. Also, ECU’s motto, Servire
