Early one week
in November 1994, I strained a muscle in my neck while trying
to move some furniture that greatly outweighed my ability.
This strain caused my head to stay turned about 20 degrees
to the right. I had my habitual seat in the classroom with
Dr. Hay off to my left. With my head turned, I couldn't
watch her as she made notes on the board, so I made the
daring switch to other side of the room where the "strangers"
were.

We met the first day
of freshman year outside of Cobeen hall. Joel had just moved into
Tower from Colorado, and was in full cowboy gear when he approached
me and so charmingly stated- "What's a pretty girl like you
doing sittin' all by yourself?" We watched a movie together
in Tower, and I received my first kiss as a college student. Read

One day during winter
break 1989 I was sitting around the apartment watching the snow
fall onto Kilbourne when a friend of mine called and said, “Hey,
I have a friend who wants to set her friend up for a blind date.
Would you be interested in being the blind date?” I said sure,
I would love to. Read

My
wife and I met freshman year at Marquette in 1989. My introduction
to my wife occurred at orientation "social gatherings"
around campus. She and her cheerleading friends had it out
for one of my friends and me. They even went as far as to
squirt toothpaste on my friend's dorm door. However, they
didn't know my name or the location of my room! Thank goodness
because his door was a disaster. Read

My husband and I met
at a block party during Senior Week 1999. We were both Spanish
majors, but had never had a class together and didn't know each
other. We met on the Tuesday before graduation and exchanged numbers.
I called him the next day because I needed help moving to Madison
. He made up a story that he was from Madison (actually, Janesville)
and needed to go home. Read

My husband and I met our second semester
of our senior year in an MU 8 a.m. history course. This
was my first 8 a.m. class at MU, and of course I was running
late, so when I entered the room, I quickly scouted for
a back seat. Unfortunately, a backpack was in my way, so
I was forced to sit in the middle of the room.

Joe was visiting his
cousin at Marquette . She happened to be my roommate. I was really
busy studying for my comprehensive exams and didn't pay too much
attention to him. When I finished my last exam, we got around
to talking over pizza at Angelo's. We just talked and talked.

My
roommate and I, who were both nursing students were studying
in our room, 907. We were annoyed by the constant banging
we heard coming from the room above us. I decided to make
a phone call to room 1007 and politely ask if they could
stop the noise. About thirty minutes later we heard a knock
on our door. I opened it to see handsome young boy.

1976 during our freshman year at Marquette in the area between
Lalumiere and Brooks Memorial Union. At the time, the student

with tents. Read

In 1966, I was a sophomore
in engineering and my wife, Ann, was a sophomore in math. To help
make money for school, she took a job in the Physics Department,
which is how we met. I went to my first physics class and there
were only two girls out of 350 students in class, so it wasn't
too exciting. We were all told to sit down, and then in walked
Ann to take attendance. Read
