You're never finished with it. Every year, you get hundreds of new students, and they don't know what we do about diversity because they've never been here before. There's sort of this attitude that if I don't know about it, then maybe it doesn't exist.

I think the main thing is … the idea that everybody is responsible for diversity.

When we have students having problems constantly, those problems need to be addressed.

Students were trying to encourage people to take the course. And they said, 'You'll have the opportunity to meet the inquisitive cat in Pavilion II.' I think by now the cat probably has a PhD in 'Miscellaneous.' I could say on her behalf that she has loved living on the Lawn.

It's such a unique idea in 2006 -- a Jeffersonian belief of students and faculty living in the same community.

It still really hasn't sunk in. It's surreal.
