Stories about "Thomas Moser"
"My introduction to business was through Aristotle." -- Thomas Moser, a master craftsman whose handmade furniture beautifies public spaces around the world, explaining the importance of a liberal arts education. Students in the "Short Term Practicum: Brand Culture Building" (including Lois Masson '16 of Petit-Lancy, Switzerland, and Clarke Shipley '17 of Andover, Mass., pictured here) listened to the internationally acclaimed furniture designer as he offered them a tour of his Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers workshop in Auburn, Maine. Moser, a former speech professor and debate coach at Bates, received an honorary doctor of humane letters from the college in 2015. This course, taught by brand strategist Peter Bysshe '93, takes students behind the scenes of brand culture consultants in an effort to not only humanize intimidating large corporate cultures, but also to arm students with tools to observe, measure, and build, manage or contribute to smaller cultures in which they may find themselves after graduating.
