"Each time I saw Professor O'Neil after leaving Pierce [College] in 1996, he would say the same thing: 'When are you going to go back to school and get your graduate degree and teach a journalism course?' I would always return with: 'Rob, you know that I'm not a teacher. I'm a journalist,'" said Michelle Hofmann, a lecturer at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). "Coming out of the dark time after my mother's death, I thought I'd trust the professor who changed my life and give teaching a go. I'm glad I did. In many ways, teaching feels like coming home."
