The honor was all our?s. Wasn?t Claudia Emerson saying something about lists being the lowest order of language while poetry is the highest? I think there?s a lot of poetry in this here list. Until the next time!

There really is some magic going on at UMW unlike anything that I’ve seen before. I wish we could make it a William and Mary tenure and promotion requirement that every faculty member must make the pilgrimage from W’Burg to F’burg to experience the FA first hand. We’ve got lots to learn from our colleagues to the north.

[...] I said it in the comment thread, but I want to mention here just how amazing and humbling Alan Levine’s recap post about this year’s Faculty Academy was. I was literally swept away by it — to the point [...]

I don’t even know how to respond to this post — it’s simply amazing and humbling.

Having you, Barbara, and Karen here for FA this spring was such a gift. I told Barbara on the way to Dulles Friday morning that sometimes it takes Faculty Academy and the opportunity to see UMW through the eyes of others to remind us of what we have. We don’t appreciate it and reflect upon it as much as we should. Thanks for the reminder — and thanks for being a part of it and adding so much.

And, you’re right about Dr. Glu. He’s a treasure.

Following FA from afar as best I could I was still amazed and impressed. Thanks Alan for sharing your parts via Twitter and Blog! I’m wondering how I might get on a waiting list for next year’s event.

This is very much like the post I should have written two years ago. Phenomenal place, huh?

I feel like I should welcome you to the club, or perhaps better said the family – if you’re anything like me (and I know you well enough to know you are, at least a little bit), you’ll never be the same. You can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles…

Oh yeah.

Thanks to everyone at UMW for serving up this energy.

With the wonderful people at UMW, so aptly described here, plus friends such as Alan, Barbara and Karen (and their predecessors at Faculty Academy), I’m flat lying when I call what I do a job, especially on these May days each year. Thanks, Alan, for telling folks so well about the spirit that moves all of us.
