The Quest Begins

Welcome to the "Dr. Russi Log".

This blog is going to showcase my attempt to get Oakland University President Dr. Gary Russi to appear on my WXOU Radio show, The Erik Anderson Program.

As time goes on, I'll post updates on how the quest is going. David Letterman kept a similar "Log" during his attempt at getting Oprah to appear on The Late Show several years ago. I hope to accomplish the same thing with this blog.

I came up with this idea during the 2009 Oakland University Professors Strike. During the strike, we constantly heard from Union representatives and other University administrators, but rarely from Dr. Russi outside of a press release or two. I wondered what would happen if he appeared on my radio show. What would he say, what would we talk about?

Hopefully over time, we'll find out the answers to both of those questions.
