September 5, 2025: Fall Semester Previews: The Boys in College!

[This week, I start my 21st year at Fitchburg State! So as usual, I’ll offer some previews of the semester ahead, this time focusing on individual moments I’m looking forward to in each class. Leading up to a weekend update on my plans for season 2 of my podcast!]

Last Fall, I ended my Fall semester preview series with a post sharing my excitement about my older son Aidan’s first semester in college. He had a great Fall, and a great first year overall, which makes me that much more excited for this Fall when we’re doubling up the excitement: Aidan will be starting his second year at Vanderbilt; and my younger son Kyle will be starting his own first year at Michigan. In a very special Saturday Evening Post Considering History column this past June, I reflected on just how much I’ve learned about American history and stories from the boys’ academic experiences, and I ended that post with a Native American poet and artist (Tommy Pico) about whom I learned from one of Aidan’s first-year classes. I’m sure there will be a lot more such lessons across both boys’ semester and years, and I look forward to sharing some of them with y’all here!

Special post this weekend,

Ben

PS. What do y’all have coming up?
