My office window overlooks the campus lawn and through it I can see students hurrying to classes, returning to dorm rooms, and heading to Chapel for morning worship. I like the view from my window. It helps me feel connected to students and the daily hum of the campus. I imagine that Calvin parents would also enjoy my view, perhaps wishing for the opportunity to see their sons and daughters walking by.

Part of my job in parent relations is to share this fine view from my window with Calvin parents. So here is a new column for this newsletter where I will attempt to do just that.
