THE FUSE

As a college professor for over 30 years, I’ve watched the hyper-fetishization of the first-year experience. Do colleges and universities not also have an ethical responsibility to students, families, and the larger community to offer just as much deep and thoughtful planning and programming for college seniors? I believe institutions should think much more seriously about instituting what I’m calling "the Senior Launch" as an infrastructure of support for seniors to bookend the college experience.
