Woolman Semester Arrival Day August 19

On August 19th, 2010 we will welcome the Fall 2010 class of Woolman Semester students. I am counting down the days until these amazing young people join us. For me, they are the reason the rest of us are here. 

On Thursday they will arrive by train, plane, and car to embark on a sixteen-week journey of growth and exchange. For many of them, this will be their first time living away from home and maybe the first time they've learned in a classroom without walls. We are here to challenge these young people with experiences, knowledge, and meaningful dialogue. They are also here to learn from each other, build lasting friendships, and find a community of peers. My hope is that through Woolman they will come to see the power of their education and the role they play in shaping it for themselves. 

This is the beginning of an awesome adventure. See you all on Thursday. DIVE IN.
