Provost's Welcome and "Sweet Iced Tea"

This morning GSU Provost Linda Bleicken told of years past in which she had paid her own way and stayed in college dorms just to be able to go to conferences on teaching and learning. While some did not understand, she knew then and now of the value of examining the evidence of what works in the classroom. On a light note, she mentioned how much Georgians like their "sweet iced tea," and at last year's conference, visitors from England explained they would prefer to drink it hot, particularly in the morning! She encouraged all to feel welcome and let the team know of what will give us comfort as we weave the thread of teaching and learning in our journey through this week's conference sessions.
