I hope you enjoyed your Fall Break last weekend! After midterms and a well-deserved rest, we are back at it and having Transformational Learning Experiences (TLEs) daily. Today, many of our students are participating in a “Conversation on Civil Discourse” organized by our Humanities department. Events like these reflect our mentors’ focus on teaching students “how to think, not what to think.” The caliber of discussions our students create in this type of environment is always inspiring!

Next week, get ready for fun as Spirit Week is coming up! For a list of the daily themes, please see the Upcoming Events list below.

Warmly,

Pete Jensen

Executive Director, LAU
