'Fresh' Optimism -

I am co-teaching a first year seminar course on Sustainable Living, along with a colleague from Administration. This is the second year I am doing this course. Teaching first year students (freshmen) is quite exciting and challenging, as I have to find the proper level to communicate and engage with them. After nearly three weeks, my 'guardedly optimistic' outlook has been reinforced. I have found at least some of the students to be motivated, aware, and excited- the recipe for success. Overall, a fun group.
