Even faculty have to get away from their offices and just spend some time in a new environment-- setting goals, discussing the past year's experiences, and exploring new ideas.
So this year we all met in historic Fort Miles, a World War II bunker now located in the Cape Henlopen Delaware State Park that is being restored as a living history museum.
Besides our faculty meeting, we were given a history lesson and tour of this bunker.
Learning is a lifetime pursuit and never stops... Did you know that a German submarine actually surrendered near the shores of this beach?
As we get further away from WWII, it's important to remember what was lost and gained in this world war.
It's also important for teachers, instructors, professors, or educators (no matter what their titles) to pass on history to the younger generation because it informs our collective memory as a society.
