Thanks for responding Don. I also have an idea about bringing in local school teachers and guidance counselors to discuss issues the advising center is seeing with incoming freshmen in a World Cafe format. I've read the book and am looking forward to the first cafe. I welcome your input and thanks for checking in!

Our problem are league tables which tend to push schools into rather defensive posturing. Need to do better. Keep me posted with your schools work. Count me in on the network please!

Hey Don, I can't wait to see you again. I'm going to Ireland the end of August...hoping to connect with some mental health professional, enjoy the world music culture festival, and river dance. You know I'm excited. Don't forget I want to go with you next year. We can do our music. Love ya! Renee - Chi Town is calling you!
