Faculty couple demonstrates teamwork with style

Typical days for the husband-and-wife duo of Brian and Valerie Smith look very different from each other: Valerie is co-chair and teaches in the theatre department; Brian is both senior lecturer in Bible and a teaching pastor. Though their areas of expertise are very different, the Smiths agree that a couple of things make their work ideal: sharing in the troubles and joys of their students; being on the same campus together; and having the freedom to bring their young son Jude with them.
