I give a lot of speeches during the year, but one of my favorite opportunities for talking about liberal education and Wesleyan is Arrival Day. It’s great fun to meet with the families of our new students and to share some of my hopes for a Wesleyan education. This year, I was also thinking about having dropped off our daughter Sophie last week to start her frosh year. At the arrival day talk at Wesleyan, there are always lots of laughs and usually a few tears. Here is a video of part of my remarks.
