The purpose of education, in particular higher education, is to teach creative, intelligent, thoughtful, capable people the skills needed to go into the world and do amazing things.
Like I said before, I love a challenge, and after my last post here it was:

With an awesome new job on the horizon, one that not only encourages but demands regular reflection via blogging, I decided to take this weekend and get my digital house in order.
We spent the weekend doing some housecleaning here at LLU… a coat of fresh paint, moved some furniture around, opened some windows, changed a couple lightbulbs here and there. And yes, the dog helped.
One of the reasons I love to teach is that I get to learn. Be it from my students or the people who come to our class… every semester I acquire new knowledge, ideas, and perspectives thanks to what happens in the classroom.
I live in Northeast Ohio. Northeast Ohio looks a lot like this for most of the months between November and March April. Shovelling is a part of my life, and never has that been moreso than this year (thank you Winter Storm Nemo)
