Dennis G. Jerz | Associate Professor of English -- New Media Journalism, Seton Hill University | jerz.setonhill.edu

A student recorded this interaction on her Facebook wall:

Me: I think I’m going to die after elections.
Dr. Jerz: Well how soon after elections? We all die eventually, you know.
Me: I’m going to wait til after Wednesday so I finish the online election issue.
Dr. Jerz: As long as you finish. Wait… can you work as a Zombie?
