Rockhurst Sentinel

Issue date: 9/26/06 Section: Entertainment

Media Credit: Andrew Young Fr. Curran at his interview session with studens last year.

Familiar Faces: Father Thomas Curran

Nicknames: "T.C." Most people use this nickname. He says it's fine if you, the students, want to call him Father T.C.

Favorite Campus Party thus far: He doesn't have a favorite party in particular. Parties are more of an opportunity to interact and meet the students. It's a way to enjoy student life as well as getting to know the student body.

Favorite Color: Blue

Favorite thing about Rockhurst: The welcome and friendliness of the people here, as well as the focus towards the mission.

If you could change one thing about Rockhurst: "It's not a matter of changing, but more to embrace the opportunity to make it better and taking it from good to excellent."

Favorite Food in the Cafeteria: Salad and Pizza

Advice to students: "Be who you are, be it well."

Favorite Book: Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

Favorite Cartoon: Non Sequitur

Favorite Sport and team: KC Chiefs, but he's from Philadelphia -- so the Eagles then the Chiefs aren't playing.

Interesting thing about yourself: He doesn't think he has an accent, although people seem to think he has an East coast accent.

Favorite Musical Artist: "All the stuff on my iPod." Shania Twain, Michael Buble, "the old stuff" like the Beach Boys, etc.

What were you like in college: "It was the 70's…a rebel without a cause," (laughs) He got rid of his tie-dye t-shirts and didn't trust anyone over 40. (Can we blame him?)
