Making sense of the world
Personal experience is one of the best motivations for wanting to make sense of the world. As I take time to prepare for my role as adviser, I find this idea very fitting to describe the great potential and inherent challenges of my responsibility. I see my function as one that will guide students in the application of their newly found skills, attitudes, and theories without defining this meaning for them. I am mindful that meaning is on-going and it reveals itself in multiple ways. I am excited to connect with a diverse group of students who may become fragile and passionate toward what they encounter.
