I would lie to say to say that I am upset that this long week is coming to a end but today we had some time to relax, reflect and think about more than just coursework, comps, and dissertations. We “dropped in” to the Drop in Center. It is a place where homeless are able to seek assistance and short term shelter.
The panel discussion that followed was interesting but a bit one sided. I would have loved to have heard from some city officials and other stakeholders in the community. Although I could understand the conversation, hearing only one side made me wonder how some good leadership and collaboration could have helped create a better setting to help with this problem. If we are all not able to come to the table to talk about the issues in a forum how will the problems ever be solved? It is easy to talk about what we can do, it is much harder to do it. I don’t have the answers, but would love to be part of the solution.
So now back to the reality of preparing for the comps. I have my reading list…. back to work…
