Farewell, So long, but Never Goodbye!

I want to let all of you know how much I have enjoyed this semester with you. Each of you is very special to me, and I hope that we can keep the communication lines open as time moves forward.

I was especially proud of all of you yesterday as you presented your projects! I joked with Doug Branch that you all had duped us into thinking you were students, because each of you presented so expertly.

Incidentally, the size of the crowd was, I believe, one of the largest we've had in some time. And, as you might expect, I have pictures to share with you! I will share some samples of the event, and there are more if you would like to see them.

And as a final, technical note, you may send along your Power Points, notes, materials to me via my email at jllester@southwest.tn.edu through the Dashboard rather than through PAWS. I will also be receiving your final reflection papers on the day we would ordinarily have our exam--and I will get those back to you as soon as I am able. I have a deadline to get my grades in (May 9th), so if you have questions about specific grades, best to postpone them until after that deadline.

Having that out of the way, here are the photos of the Honors Fellows Presentations on April 27th 2016. As I said, there are more, but I chose these especially because of the composition, the light, the aura that was brought out in the moment, the way each shot captures the personality and individuality of the subject. They were taken and selected with love, and I hope you enjoy them. Goodnight, all.
