Eagle Eye: What was your funniest or most interesting moment as a teacher?
Adam DePiro: My favorite day every year is “Tie Day.” I always liked ties but one year I received a just over a hundred ties from a retiring professor. So I did the only thing that I how to do; I turned it into a lesson. So at the end of the year all of my students learn the history behind fine neckwear and learn how to tie a tie, it’s awesome!

I would probably build a lot of Legos, they are also awesome!
