Meramec vice president of academic affiars George Wasson pauses in his office on May 3 for a photo. Wasson started teaching in 1978 at Indiana University. “I thought I could make a difference in people’s lives and I’ve taught over 10,000 so I think that I have,” said Wasson about his teaching career. All 10,000 of Wasson’s students have been witness to his mustache. “I shaved my mustache once in 1976 and it’s been like this ever since.”
