Well, the Hechinger seminar on higher education just ended and to tell you the truth — I’m exhausted! The weekend was packed with interesting discussions, and everyone really was so kind and so intelligent. Thanks to many for your insights into the complex world of higher ed!

I sincerely hope you all enjoy these videos, and I ask that you please pardon any imperfections — of which there are sure to be many! I essentially began the videos as an experiment, and really was just learning as I went along, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
