With graduation almost upon us, I wanted to share this quote from the Evansville Courier and Press. "A highlight of this year's University of Evansville commencement was a line from President Thomas A. Kazee -- and the line seemed to be most popular in the sections for attendees who are family members of graduates. He won applause for telling students: "Move away from home and get a job as soon as possible. Your parents love you, but enough is enough."
If you have been reading The New York Times blog "The Choice" (we've linked to several of their comments on our blog), you may have noticed this new one titled "So Done With School, Anxious About College." I suspect that many of our seniors feel the same way.
Since we've been discussing on-line courses recently, I also wanted to share with you this article about earning college credit for "prior learning" or "experiential learning." The practice has its share of supporters and detractors.
Finally, in spite of the bad news about college these days (some people would say it's not worth it!), here's some positive news about the impact college students can have on our world.
Congratulations to the GPS class of 2012!
