[I think we could all use some reminders these days of the best of our communities and conversations. So for this year’s Fall Semester reflections series, I wanted to share one moment from each of my classes that embodied those collective goals. I’d love to hear about your Falls in comments!]
This one’s
pretty straightforward, but man did we all need it. My English Studies Senior Capstone
course met T/Th at 2pm this semester, so on Halloween it was the end of the school
day for both me and most if not all of the students in there. I was in costume (duh),
a few of the students were too, one of them brought some refreshments as part
of their costume, and we sat around and had the refreshments and talked about
writing opportunities, job and career paths, grad school options, the Eric Carle Museum, and more. It was one of
my favorite hours on campus in a long time, and a great reminder of why online education
(which I do every semester, as I’ll write about tomorrow) will never be able to
fully or successfully substitute for that in-person, in-class experience and
community.
Next
reflection tomorrow,
