On Wednesday, October 14, Tony Calabrese of the Department of Kinesiology facilitated an engrossing longitudinal study about his “Collecting, Charting and Ranking the Attitudes and Values of High School Students Over a Thirty Year Period (1978-2008) and Comparing the Similarities and Differences of Those Attitudes and Values with Their Teachers.” Sixteen faculty and students joined Tony for a spirited review of the ways in which valuing has possibly changed during this 30 year period, among both students and teachers, related to such examples as love, fitness, security, wisdom, etc. Thanks to Tony for a stimulating hour!
