Bryan Kinney makes Criminology proud by “gnome-ing it all”
If you walk by Associate Professor Bryan Kinney’s office, you’ll likely notice a new addition to his décor: a one-foot tall green gnome statue. It’s not a symbol of his passion for gardening. Rather, it’s the Gnome-it-all Award presented to winners of the 2016 Faculty Smackdown Event.
A yearly occurrence, the Faculty Smackdown Event brings together 12 Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµfaculty to debate topics of nonsensical nature to raise money for charity. All proceeds go to support the United Way Lower Mainland, a charity that funds and advocates for agencies helping local vulnerable children and seniors living in poverty.
Kinney adopted the persona “Demon Cabbageâ€� to bring home the trophy with his teammates Doug “Dr. Loveâ€� Allen (Economics) and Rochelle “Replacing Roxanneâ€� Tucker (Health Sciences). They claimed championship status by arguing against the need for Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµschool uniforms.
