In the middle, you'll find a life size cut out of James Dean. I am not certain how James became part of Student Life, but he's been around since before I arrived in 2003. He wears a sign saying, "I Need a Ride to the Commons" - he's been wearing this sign for over 4 years now, as he first adorned it when we were moving from the Howard Administration Building to the Davis Student Commons back in Fall 2006. James has taken on a variety of personas over the years, wearing wigs, Santa hats, etc. If you would like to meet James in person, he can always be found in the Student Life Office - Davis Student Commons, 3rd floor. James hangs out behind Ms. Susan's desk, constantly looking over her shoulder - he's such a micromanager.Dean Coker
