| Bio: | Dr. Keith Strudler joined the Marist faculty with much fanfare in Fall, 2000, after completing his Ph.D. at the University of Florida. As Florida's loss was clearly Marist's gain, Keith spearheaded the college's efforts to create Marist's new concentration in sports communication. In addition to courses in sports communication, Keith also teaches courses in communication theory. Aside from his spectacular classroom and curricular work, Keith is also a sports newspaper columnist. He also serves as the faculty advisor to Marist's radio station, WMCR, and hosts his own sports talk show, a program that, according to critics, will "make you laugh, cry, and cry some more." Outside of work, Keith spends time training for triathlons, watching his favorite TV show "Magnum PI," and playing guitar and singing for his punk rock band "xbutler." |
