Glen says: “Despite my having taken a somewhat alternative professional path, practically every interaction, and practically every moment, of my years in the Slavic Department have turned out to be excellent preparation and inspiration for my professional life.”
Glen has served as a mentor for graduate students at Stanford, Illinois, and elsewhere contemplating alternate-academic career paths. He would be happy to talk with anyone at Berkeley considering the same.
