I just got back from a business trip. Our job was to look at our college curriculum and decide if it was relevant now, and if it would continue to be in the next five years. I know it sounds easy, but in a field like broadcasting things seem to change every day. For instance, I started discussing blogs as a form of mass communication a couple years ago, and almost none of my students knew what I was talking about. They all do now!
It’s a sobering realization that some of the decisions we made in that meeting will impact students from Texas and their education in the years to come. But I was heartened to see that everyone there was cognizant of that responsibility and took it very seriously. (In some cases, almost too seriously…….) Still, what a privilege to be able to contribute to the future. Gee…..sure hope we did the right thing…..hmmmm…..
