One of the best ways to convey an important lesson is through humor, and Dr. Jaehne's good cheer, enthusiasm and quick wit kept me engaged in every class I took from him. His approach is to ask questions—captivating, mind-boggling, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat questions. His classes taught me to critically assess the world, and I was inspired by him to go on and earn a Ph.D. in the area of environmental communication. His humanity, graciousness and kindness meant as much to me as his intellectual rigor.
