What we can do!

Welcome everyone, and
THANK YOU!

Thank you for coming to class, for paying attention, sharing what you've learned, working hard to write smart and write well and being good to one another. It has been a good semester of learning despite all the problems we are facing and I am grateful to be allowed to be your guide in some of these matters.

The point of this final week is to wrap up the course by looking at where we've come, what we've learned, what there is still to uncover, and what we can do.

We, the Honors faculty and staff, hope to serve as permanent resources in your effort to make positive change. We've done some of this work ourselves and we know people who know how to do it so for as long as we're around you only need to reach out to us and let us know what you need. We will try to help.

There are no required readings for the week--instead you will have writing to do for your final assessment--but for the future we'd like to offer you of the two readings that we think will be helpful in your own advocacy efforts. You can find them here:

These are clear, simple guides for how to make change, how to identify problems, develop or adapt existing solutions, and try to bring those to fruition by finding and talking to elected officials.

You can always contact me at kdk@wayne.edu or 248-744-3535 or through the Honors College, and it is my honor and pleasure to be able to help.

It has been a great delight to be able to get to know you this year, to share some of what we have learned and to help you go on to great things. Please let us know how you are doing in the future and let us know what we can do to help you change Detroit and the world.

I want people to be inspired. I want people to believe that they can do whatever they want... that’s what I want to teach other people. That’s what I want to teach kids and that’s why I teach coding, because a lot of kids believe that they can’t do it. And when they learn that they can do it, it pleases me... when I’m teaching kids and they get it right and they’re happy about their final project, it’s inspirational to me because I know that they’re going to go on to do something better..
