Marist College

I was up in Poughkeepsie yesterday at Marist College to speak to some classes and then tape an event for C-Span. It's been a few years since I've been on campus - I'm a grad and also did a little adjunct teaching there - and my God has it grown.

People talk about its top-notch academic programs, its technology labs, media studios, professors, cutting edge library and the like. They all deserve considerable praise. But the thing that really blows you away is how beautiful the place is. The buildings and grounds are simply inspiring.

I think I may go back to school . . . problem is I might not make the cut these days...
