We are now in week three and continuing to have stimulating and rewarding experiences. This week, David joined me in giving presentations to accounting students. He talked to them about the stock market, and I facilitated sessions on how to become more successful learners. A reporter interviewed us, and a wonderful article and photo was published in the Port Elizabeth Herald today. The title, “Education Guru in Bay to Pass on Expertise” is a little over the top for my taste. Now David is calling me “The Guru”. We hope to post the article here soon.
Some of my most enjoyable sessions in the University here have been with the students. I realize that my recent focus on faculty and program development projects at home have taken me away from direct student content. On this visit, I’ve met with numerous student groups and love it!
Tomorrow, we will be going to Addo Elephant Park for the weekend with our friends and hosts Andre and Marina de Jager. Addo is really a large game reserve where elephants and other game roam freely. We will be staying in a safari tent where we are in the middle of the reserve and part of the African veld and sky. Our next posting here will tell the story.
