Things I love about Biola || DBC.

I don’t really like to brag, but one thing I will say about Biola is that we have the coolest university president. Ever. I’ve mentioned him in previous posts, but I shall recap. Dr. Barry Corey—known to students as DBC—has been the president for just a few years now. He might as well be a celebrity on campus. I mean, everyone cheered when he showed up at our all-hall.

I hear all kinds of people bragging about getting to meet him and getting their picture with him. And I’ll be honest, I feel pretty awesome that he knows me by name and I have a picture with him.

Also, he is an absolutely fantastic speaker, no matter who he is addressing. Every time I hear him give a speech, I’m really inspired.

He invites students to add him on facebook, and he’s currently sitting at nearly 5,000 friends, I believe. From time to time, he posts pictures with students that he’s met in one way or another. He eats in the caf a lot and will sometimes just sit and eat with random students. Recently, this was his facebook status:

I obviously liked his status.

How many university presidents do you know that will do that?
Or, perhaps, do something like this for a staff Christmas party:

So legit.

He sang a version of The Sound of Music’s “My Favorite Things” while playing the guitar, and the students played various instruments.

So, yes, it’s official.
DBC = Coolest university president of all time.
