Fear — Way Finding — Looking Bear Leadership

The Great Risky Adventure Of Pursuing Integrity

It was supposed to be everything I wanted. As Visiting Assistant Professor for Community-Based Learning at Grand Valley State University, I had finally found a position that reflected my unique academic interests. The department chair and college dean were supportive and I got along great with the other three professors who were starting at the same time.

Dealing With Fear in Social Change

I can see the fear in my students eyes sometimes, as if it was written in cartoon bubbles. A sense of desperation stemming from a deep-seated fear that maybe there is no other way. That maybe the enormously unsatisfied pit in their stomach is un-healable. That selfishness, greed, and injustice are inevitable.
