You can learn a lot about a person from their Twitter feed.
Although Ray Cross, the incoming president of the University of Wisconsin System, currently only has 439 followers and 320 tweets, there are some gems among them.
Cross’s twitter feed is far more whimsical than your typical UW System-sanctioned account. Here are the 10 best tweets from the incoming president so far:
10. He tweets himself to correct typos.
