 I was impressed with the commitment to dealing with difficult topics and tackling issues head on that the college displayed. the program was excellent, beginning with a panel whose members talked about how they had dealt with the aftermath of the Sandusky charges and the trial and sanctions this summer. The panel presentation was followed by vigorous and honest discussion from everyone present. It was a great opportunity to see the possibilities for struggling in meaningful ways in the curriculum  and co-curriculum.
