Karen Johnson said… - 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!
