Jeanine and I are visiting Nicolai in Colorado Springs where he is attending Colorado College as a freshman.  My first and Jeanine’s second visit to the campus, we are here for Parents Weekend.  A busy day, we sampled three abbreviated classes (psychology, film and gender studies) and three workshops on skill building (leadership training, digital story telling, and “talk”ology).  For lunch we attended a forum on Climate Change during which professors and alumni presented brief reviews of their academic research on the subject. We then toured the campus before joining Nicolai for a fine steak dinner.
