Its Wednesday evening, and so far this week the W&L community has been incredibly receptive and responsive to what the General Development Initiative has to offer them. There is always a level of hesitancy on my part as to how people are going to react to a new concept that so much time and effort has been invested into. Any such minute worries have been quelled, and GDI is well on its way. I am incredibly excited about the formal organizational meeting we will be having on March 4th. I expect a great turnout of ambitious students from an array of academic backgrounds.
Professor Casey is scheduled to be making (several?) appearances at W&L alumni event(s) over the break to talk about the direction education at W&L is heading. With some luck he will be able to slip in a sentence or two about the concept of the General Development Initiative, and perhaps drum up some much needed support from the extended W&L community. Things have been moving quickly lately, its very exciting. The future is full of promise for W&L students and the General Development Initiative.
On a final note...lets go Virginia Commonwealth, we need that legal incorporation.
