Transitions

"Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promise." – Harvey Mackay

It appears that the rumors are true. Three professors are leaving the university at the end of this term. One has been touted as "outstanding" by many third part sources and he will be missed. We'll have to wait and see.  One thing it certainly true in schools, nothing is more  predictable than change.

I have been most impressed at most of our professors. The really outstanding ones truly seem to love what they do, and are doing what they love. Having taught before I can relate to how they must feel. The most evidence of this is Dr. K...loves what he does, and always delivers more than he promises. I am constantly amazed at his depth of knowledge (or consistency of memory). It is truly a pleasure for him to constantly overdose us with material...it all seems relevant.

We are close to leaving this term. The new anatomy tutors have begun to show up to learn their new job starting in September with the new term #1 students. In about a month, this term will be a memory and we'll move forward to the next challenge, term and professorial line up. I hope they all love what they do.
