This is a nice interview of 
Professor Stephen Freund, who works at Williams College and specializes in programming languages.  I haven't had the experience studying at a liberal arts college, but I am familiar with undergraduate-focused universities; I earned my bachelor's degree at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and I recently 
taught a course on programming language paradigms and principles at San José State University.  It is always nice to read about others' experiences and to obtain advice.
