Dean and former MCIS Director, Todd Hunt (center), to the "Spirit of the Age/
MCIS Rap," especially composed for the occasion by Kubey. Photograph by Nat Clymer.
November 14th, the Professors appeared at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel
in New Brunswick, New Jersey, as the top of the bill of
the 10th anniversary celebration of the Masters Program in
Communication and Information Science at Rutgers University
(of which Bob Kubey is the Director). The Profs stunned
a crowd of Rutgers administrators, faculty, and friends with
a short set of "I'm From New Jersey" (John Gorka), "Five Long
Years" (Eddie Boyd), and Dreading the
Dawning (Barrows/Radford). Kubey
rounded out the
set by having all the former program directors, Todd Hunt,
Linda Lederman, and Harty Mokros, and Executive Assistant Angela DeMartini, up on stage and joining in on
an inspired performance of the "Spirit of the
Age/MCIS Rap."
