2. Opportunities to meet with instructors via office hours and email.

(Also, sometimes the value of the feedback was questionable if the person wasn't necessarily experienced in that area or didn't model what they were teaching).

Lastly, it would be nice to hear what was a result of the feedback (whether sharing a pivot or explaining why some ideas wouldn't work this time around)]]> 2021-06-08 17:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kweisberg/eax1uy7g2erjujpy/wish/1593514714 https://padlet.com/kweisberg/eax1uy7g2erjujpy/wish/1593514761 Human-centeredness.

Differentiate the capstone based on what individuals or groups want to present -- meaning, you could do a paper to get published OR create a workshop OR collaborate on paper, etc. 
2. The Leadership Immersion experiences could be much more meaningful -- this year was particularly difficult, but it feels like a box to check off right now]]> 2021-06-08 17:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kweisberg/eax1uy7g2erjujpy/wish/1593522387 jjk887 https://padlet.com/kweisberg/eax1uy7g2erjujpy/wish/1593522433 I feel like I was invited to take part in  or observed different design thinking and big endeavors this year (like the Grad school SWOT thing)... but I wonder if it's at the expense of curating a quality program. I wonder if there could be a more intentional and specific trajectory to the program -- especially for folks who are not HTH-specific.

This is especially important for any student whose attendance requires language or cultural acclimation. 

It would be better to become masterful with a few protocols, for example, than to be continually wrestling with a new one.

I'd like to have had a reading list from all our instructors, including the best, most current and most challenging writers and thinkers in their area. And I would have liked to play with those people's ideas more, in our courses.
