First, for those that celebrate, happy Twins Home Opener! I'll be at the game on Thursday afternoon and hopefully the predicted sunshine will appear.
As I've shared before, my eldest son is a freshman here at the University, and it's been a great experience for him thus far. It’s also been fun for me to see the University from a parent’s perspective. When it comes to the freshman experience, I often picture large lecture halls and potentially distant faculty. However, he is having the opposite experience; he has several classes with fewer than 20 students. He’s also shared with me how dedicated his professors are, even reaching out to him after a missed class to make sure he is okay (he is).
Making this big place operational requires zooming out and making processes that work for many students in an efficient way. But the student experience is also individualized, and when we’re able to make it personalized, it's incredibly effective. Thank you to all of you for making a difference for students, whether on a big scale or small, direct or indirectly.
