Statement from Engish
Professor:
“Generally higher education acknowledges that people learn
in different ways, only more recently had pedagogy begun changing,
not only to accommodate such difference, but to celebrate them.
I see SNL as an organization poised to encourage and support such
pedagogic changes at Davidson.”
