As I
approach my own graduation quickly, I am reflecting on my education; the things
I have learned and the many questions I still have. I have decided to create
this blog to document major shifts in the upcoming years in science, culture, education,
and politics for future Wofford graduates. The class of 1962 from Wofford
College had a much different experience than I have had in the class of 2012. I
know that for you, the class of 2062, your four years will be just as
different. My intention is for you future Wofford graduates (if there are any)
to read this blog and see how my perception of the world, my understanding of
life, and my biggest questions about life will evolve over the next fifty
years. At the center of this fifty year story will be Wofford College. Because
we can’t accurately choose a center of the universe, I am placing Wofford at
the center. I hope that as you read this, you will appreciate the past and begin
to think what you would like to see over your next fifty years.
“We are, as
it were, thrown into existence with a challenge and a role that is beyond any
personal choice. The nobility of our lives, however, depends upon the manner in
which we come to understand and fulfill our assigned role.” –Thomas Berry
