Have I mentioned that I'm teaching a new First Year seminar this coming semester? I'm taking the Lang 40th anniversary as an excuse to reconnect with some of the folks who've taken our classes over the years. In general I think incoming students will really appreciate meeting alums and seeing where they might be in a decade or two. But for this topic it makes especial sense, as these alums have lived the changing realities of religion and spirituality of our time. The new students will interview many of these alums, but I'm also asking about a half dozen of them to come lead our class, reflecting on what they learned here and since, what they wish they'd known, what's changed and what hasn't... I expect to learn a lot too!
