Lunch with Students
As I do every year, I’ve been hosting lunches this fall in my office with groups of seniors. I’ll do the same with juniors in the winter and then with all 9th and 10th grade advisory groups in the spring. On any given day, you can smell the Raising Cane’s chicken tenders, Chipotle burritos, and Otto pizza down the hall.
There is no agenda for the meetings. I’ll often ask how things are going to get a pulse check. The most fun part is when students start asking me questions – about how we do admissions, how the budget works, our relationship with BU, how we choose ASM speakers, how the curriculum changes, how financial aid works, where the school is going. The time flies by. Their curiosity comes through, but there’s more than that. They really care about their school. They feel a sense of pride and ownership. And they have good ideas. I’m looking forward to the next one!
