First class…back. I asked students to think about the people who got them through the last 18 months to where they are today — back in this classroom, the people they supported during the last 18 months, and the people whose names we know who are not here. I told them this isn’t something we should just do on this first, inaugural day “back.” It should become a ritual, an ongoing offering as we move forward uncertainly: “I want you to know and remember…” like SOLHOT does. I hope to carry this through next week and the rest of the semester, whatever it holds.
