5 Takeaways from My Return to Campus

I had the opportunity to return to my alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During a hectic four days, I did some interviewing, met with the tennis team (I played there back when I had knees), had dinner with honors students, taught my class on Public Policy Entrepreneurship, and presented as part of the Hillard Gold Lecture series. As I said in United We Stand, my time at Chapel Hill was energizing and uplifting, and I thought it would be appropriate to reflect on why this was so important to me...

...By their very nature and design, university and college campuses are a bit sheltered from the maelstrom that is the rest of our experience. This protective cover enables a certain type of learning and growth that is difficult to accomplish amidst our day-to-day activities. And that is as it should be. I strongly encourage you to re-engage with the school you attended or with a local college or university. Your time will be well spent supporting students and you will learn from it.
