Today is my last day of teaching. I have taught at the university level for 38 years - 30 of which have been at Millikin University (9) and Western Illinois University (21). I must say it has been a true blessing to have worked with 18-22 year olds and occasional graduate students over the years. I have learned more from my students than I can possibly share. Suffice to say, students are the same now as in the past. They are new adults seeking a better life and a better world. What a run!
