An email from a student that made my weekend :) "I just wanted to let you know about something my now-boss mentioned during my interview. He said that a large part of what made him want to take a chance on me was the fact that I explored so many tech classes while still pursuing an English degree - all of which started my freshman year taking Digital Storytelling with you. Without that class I would never have been inspired to keep pursuing classes that focused on digital platforms - a decision that ultimately added up to minor in Digital Studies. I've got my qualms with higher education, but my experience in your class, as well as some of Zach Whalen's, have proven to be invaluable in my post undergrad life. I wanted to thank you for that and to let you know your teaching efforts have not been in vain. I hope you're enjoying Italy and that you and yours continue to live long and prosper."
