The weather has taken a pleasantly warm turn today and it feels good! The daffodils and crocuses are blooming around lampposts and bushes. Undergrads are strolling around campus in shorts and flip flops, and the week is drawing to a close. Now that Spring Break has passed, the semester is downhill now.
I continue to be amazed at the ways my students are making connections between our coursework and their own lives. They are meeting together to discuss ways their writing can improve and in what venues they can publish. They have even helped to organize our first annual poetry reading called Poetry Aloud which will be held on First Friday at Millersville's downtown campus. We even have Lancaster's first poet laureate attending! Best of all, my students are telling their stories in powerful ways and are finding healing in the process. This is one of the best parts of my job.
