a quote that is posted all
over campus that says
“Take care of yourself.
Take care of each other.
Take care of this place.” I
made sure to include that
in our syllabus, and I
talked about how
important it is to build
relationships. I think the
nature of physical

lot of concepts of being
respectful built in, since it
