Greetings & Graduation

It is graduation season, a time of celebration for students and a period of sheer bliss for parents, who revel in the realization that their parenting theories worked. I approach the season with mixed feelings, as I will not be teaching for a full year. I'm taking a year away from the classroom to write and do the sort of scholarship that professors do.

Yesterday, was the Elliott School ceremony. Instead of spending the evening milling on the second floor and practicing their networking skills, a small group of this years graduates gathered in my office and talked about words and speeches, Mozart arias and the Dave Matthews Band. Graduation is on Sunday. A new life begins on Monday. We will see how things unfold.

For those of you who never experienced the Mozart/Dave Matthews lecture, you can find an article about it here.
