Love to you, my dear professors.

Converse already has many fun and unifying traditions like 1889 week and big sis/lil sis week, but we could use another one to bring us together even more as a family. I have friends in different majors, and somewhere in our past conversations, we had quarrels about who had it harder. I have realized that every major has its own challenge; however, wouldn't it be cool for students to go by class schedules of other students in different majors for at most a week? For example, a music major could live by the schedule of a mathematics major and vice versa, then they would share the experience with each other and their classmates. That way some of us could get a better idea of what the other majors are like. Realistically speaking, this is not a very planned-out thought, and it probably wouldn't work, plus it is also mainly what I've personally wanted to dip my feet in. I've always wanted to try a major in physics just for the heck of it and go back to music. Nonetheless, here's something Converse should definitely think about: a teacher appreciation week. Kind of similar to big sis/lil sis week, we could anonymously leave presents and thank you notes in front of our favorite teachers' offices then reveal ourselves later on during the week. By favorite, I mean the person(s) that has the most influence on you. I thought of this, because I have someone I seriously owe a big thank you to.

  1. I really like the trading-places idea. We do that on Partner Day in the spring, where students and faculty/staff are paired off and share a day together, but crossing over into different would be interesting, too. And of course I LOVE the idea of a teacher appreciation day! You know, though, you don't need a special day to do that---I used to bring my oboe teacher wildflowers I'd picked on the way to school...

  2. I like this idea. The teachers don't really know how much they make a difference in our lives sometimes. It would be nice to give back.
