My three cups of tea with Dean Nichols

Having a plan may not be the best plan. Staying open-minded is the key to success. All of our lives we are told to have a game plan or an idea for the future. This is all well and good but when life throws you the proverbial curve ball, you have to be ready to swing. I might even argue that having a plan is secondary to having the ability to be flexible. This is especially true when it comes to deciding our futures in the college setting.

Diversi-Tea

The Honors College’s Diversi-Tea starts off a semester of events aimed at diversifying campus. Students across campus gathered on Sept. 20 to learn the meaning of Diversti-Tea. The Diversi-Tea event was presented by the Honors College in collaboration with the Common Read program. The event, which was based on the campus-wide Common Read, Three Cups of Tea, followed the Pakistani proverb that when you first have a cup of tea with someone, you are strangers, over the second cup, you are an honored guest and by the third cup, you are family. The idea of three cups of tea was condensed into one evening of thought-provoking conversations.
