Then There Are the Nights When One Manages to Be Three Places at Once and Somehow Pulls It Off! Wusah!

Last night, I had the honor of attending the 2nd Corrigan Scholars dinner with Fairfield University Students chosen to do scholarly work with undergraduate students, and for two years I've had the privilege of working with Max Limric, who was in attendance at the same dinner. Dr. Emily Orlando does a remarkable job at the helm of this work and it is always a privilege to learn of the academic projects the students are working on.

Of course, the meal was at the same time as a meeting and my class, so I recorded the class over the weekend so students could attend in the comfort of their own living environments, and I prepared the materials needed for another meeting where my input was necessary, but I couldn't attend. Phew. All went well and, by the choice of the Corrigan Scholars dinner, I was well fed...always a bonus.

This morning, I'm heading to three schools with the incredible author Ann E. Burg, and then having her featured as a guest speaker for the inaugural lectures in The Center for Climate, Coastal, and Marine Studies. I'm looking forward to all the learning, celebrating, and gift-giving, as copies of her books will be distributed throughout the visits and lecture. 

I will definitely be posting more on Wednesday about all that Tuesday brings forward.

Congratulations to the scholars and to Dr. Emily Orlando for another fantastic year of her leadership.
