Do you still keep in touch with old professors?

I am gradutation soon and I have a ton of professors I am very close with, some I would even consider fathers. I go to a small school and my classes are never more than 30-40 people at most. Are you close with your professors from undergrad? Do you still keep in touch?

“I am graduation.” Haha ok

I kept in touch with some of my professors, but mainly with the school president’s wife. Sadly, we stopped emailing each other, but we were friends for years.

you were sleeping with the president's wife?

When I was in undergrad, the school president would throw parties at his house for everyone that achieved a 3.8 or above for the semester. It was a pretty small school so not a ton of people. I used to see her at some of the parties and also other honors events and we became friends. I was friend's with the dean's wife as well. She would always say hello around campus if we saw each other.

One of my econ professors has a blog that I comment on occasionally, I liked his class a lot. He's pretty big in his field and has his own economic theorem or whatever named after him on Wikipedia. I want to stay in touch though because I want him to write a rec letter for me for grad school.

I felt every Econ professor I've ever had was quirky/hilarious in a certain way. I took 3 different econ classes in undergrad.

oh yeah for sure, all the ones I took were super quirky, we had this one guy that was super libertarian and proposed taking off nutrition labels from food so that dumb people would weed themselves out.
