The key to surviving and hopefully thriving through these last days of the fall semester is to stay relaxed and organized: the most helpful way to do this, as mentioned in last edition’s article, is time blocking.

This spring, Dr. Bomberger will be teaching a course called “Let’s Talk about Race”. Students will be learning about the different life experiences of students, listen to a variety of speakers, and read/discuss Ibram X. Kendi’s book How to Be an Anti-Racist. The class will focus on difficult conversations and start a dialog among students about their own views regarding race and ethnicity.
