" I took Dr. Proulx's Cultural Anthropology class in my sophmore year, as a visiting student at STU. It was the first time I had taken an actual anthropology class - I didn't know what to expect, and was concerned that I wouldn't be able to keep up. As a professor, Dr. Proulx very successfully created a non-threatening environment where students were encouraged to ask questions and discuss opinions. Craig challenged me, and I learned a tremendous amount from his class. I didn't realize just how much, until I returned to my alma mater and decided to pursue an Honours undergraduate in Social Anthropology. The foundation I built after just one half-credit class with Craig was enough to establish me effortlessly among the most knowledgeable students in my program. As a student of anthropology, I owe a great deal to Dr. Proulx for getting me started, and setting the bar high. His direct, personal, and supportive interaction with me - during and after my time at St. Thomas - had a profoundly positive impact on my attitude towards anthropology, and academics in general."
