“Use the powerful ability to weave critical thinking and creating problem solving together to communicate effectively, especially to people who see the world differently than you. So many Denison alumni, old and young, remarked to me how Denison taught them to write and communicate. This faculty gave you that gift, use it to weave words together so that others can understand your points of view. Also use your liberal arts education to listen and hear what others are saying so we can learn from each other. The point is never to win an argument but rather to exchange ideas so that better ideas and insights can emerge.”
