Classes are starting at all our institutions in the traditional semester programs. Those of us working with the accelerated programs are also starting programs as well, but we have this phenomenon happen regularly (hopefully). One of the employees of the traditional campus is in my course and the student asked why we were meeting on a university holiday. I explained that in my four years of teaching at this institution and 15 years at another institution I was always teaching on spring and fall breaks. When we work with the adult population who have full time jobs, university semester breaks just do not make much sense to them. I decided that our jobs are just to continually educate our fellow colleagues who do not live in our world of education.
I hope others are looking forward to the CAP Annual Conference, November 16 & 17, 2009 in Chicago. Block out your calendar now.
