Even though he loves a good mystery (James Lee Burke is a favorite author of his), TCNJ\u2019s interim president, Michael Bernstein, shares a few facts about himself.<\/p>\n
1. I don\u2019t dance, I don\u2019t know how to ice skate, and I don\u2019t speak a language other than English, which has always bothered me.<\/p>\n
2. I\u2019ve been a Yankees fan since I was a little boy. Although, they played like meatballs this season, so I didn\u2019t enjoy them as much.<\/p>\n
3. I golf badly, and haven\u2019t played in a long time. But my father was a really good golfer, so I have a lot of good memories of playing with him.<\/p>\n
4. I confess, finding work-life balance has not always been my greatest art. But family means a lot to me.<\/p>\n
5. My daughters make me smile. They\u2019re perfect in every way. They\u2019re 34 and 27 years old, and both live in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
6. I majored in economics. But I took a class in economic anthropology and wow, it blew my mind. If I could do it over again, I would study anthropology.<\/p>\n
7. The best career advice I could give to anyone is to find a passion and be committed. Do what inspires you.<\/p>\n
8. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to travel a lot. I\u2019ve been to China, Japan, Korea, and Alaska. All great. I have soloed an airplane. Places I\u2019d like to go: India and also backpacking overnight in Zion National Park.<\/p>\n
9. An ultimate bucket list item would be to go to a Stanley Cup final elimination game, preferably with the Rangers.<\/p>\n
10. My perfect day on campus as an undergraduate: end of exams; it was the best day of all. Perfect day now, as an administrator: start of the term.<\/p>\n
