Gary Achterberg is a former reporter and UW-Madison alumnus, who graduated in 1980, has returned to campus after more than four decades. Even though senior auditors are discouraged from participating in discussions, Prof. Andrew Trexler sometimes calls on him to contribute his own lived experiences and expertise for the class.

Achterberg makes sure to do all the readings required for the class, even though he doesn’t do any assignment or take any exams. On the last class of the semester, he told his classmate and friend Ella, “I’ve had fun gently giving u shit for not doing the readings"
