Amidst flurries and chilly temperatures, our students have embarked on another semester filled with new challenges and, I imagine, new adventures. They will make new friends in their classes and strengthen their ties to old ones. They will begin planning their end-of-term, end-of-year, perhaps end- of-college projects. These projects will remind professors and students alike that the classroom is always a place of experiment; it lacks full scripts and often brings chance and surprise!
