My favorite part of the symposium is the incredible grins on student and faculty faces. Both are excited about what their doing and they really convey a passion for knowledge.

It's important for undergraduates to participate in research. Presenting at the symposium helps students gain confidence they can conduct research and teach others about their research, and the best way to learn is to teach.

(As) part of that proposal, they look at the faculty we would need, the student need, the industry need, what jobs are there, how supportive the industry is. They look at labs, at space.

Active scholars are uniquely attracted by a high-quality graduate school of arts and sciences. Faculty members consider the teaching and training of new generations of graduate students as their highest calling. They believe that working with graduate students maintains and develops their professional skills more effectively than any other activity. It may be the main reason for the great attraction of academic jobs. Laboratory scientists have told me that the opportunity to work with graduate students keeps them in the university. For them, other options would center on research in commercial laboratories, but there the principal investigator would be assisted by technicians, and that is considered a far less creative interaction.

He stares at it and grins.

Love' is the name for our pursuit of wholeness, for our desire to be complete.
