From looking at ceramic professor Brian Snapp's office door, it is easy to tell he is not a native Utahn. Remnants of California hang by tape, tack or nail on the door: a sheet of plastic from a surfboard, a sticker that reads "eat, sleep, surf" and a newspaper clipping of a surfer being swallowed by a giant wave, to name a few.
