There is a new show called "Undercover Boss" where CEOs of major companies work at the ground level for a week. I missed tonight's show, but I had my own experience this weekend.

I traveled with our SGA to a conference in New Orleans. We have never been to this conference, and it was a great eye opener for students. So I am expecting new innovation.

But traveling in a van for 8 hours with 10 students is an experience that I think every faculty member, staff, and administrator should have. In all our committee meetings, proposals, positioning for power, etc. I am often surprised how few times we talk about students. And when I saw we, I'm not speaking about just PSC, but all of higher education. We need to spend more time at the basic level getting to know students, understanding them, and engaging them so that we can be reminded of our true purpose.

I guess we need some sort of communion for those of us who work in higher ed.
