This brings me back! As a new semester approaches, I appreciate this reminder that students have rich and varied lives, real struggles and delights. Zooming during the shutdown gave us all an acute feeling of solidarity. We had pet happy hour on Friday afternoons, at the end of studio. I loved seeing their faces light up as they talked about and showed off their pets. Once, I was meeting with an undergrad student early in the morning, to coach him through his pending role as a reading discussion leader. He was sitting at a dining room table. He twisted the laptop to reveal his baby quietly chilling in a car seat. You never do know.
