You know the ultimate irony? The most memorable class of my career so far, these young folks I was bonded to through these rough times, I mostly knew as black rectangles and then hair and eyes with masks. I can recognize most of them of course. Currently. But still, I wonder...
I wonder, when I run into them years later and they say "Professor Sabnis! Remember me?", will I still remember their faces, given that I hardly saw their faces in the last 2.5 years?
And yet I feel like I know them better than any students I've known.

Ordered regalia for the Undergraduate Commencement (Graduation) next month. I'll be sitting on the stage looking like a Hogwarts teacher surrounded by solemn colleagues, and jumping up going "WOOHOO" every time one of my students walks. 😁
This year is extra special, obviously.

By typical US standards, Stevens is a small university with an even smaller business school with an even smaller Marketing undergrad program. And I teach almost all undergrad courses. And am the only advisor for marketing majors.
So I get to know these students extremely well!

So these 40 or so marketing major/minor/concentration students who will graduate next month, I have an extra soft spot for. They & I navigated these years which were literally THE worst years to be a teacher, but way way worse to be a student. Such bad luck for the students.
April is here which means #senioritis is here. That's the term for graduating seniors understandably taking class stuff less seriously as their May graduation approaches.
A lot of educators make the mistake of treating it like a way bigger problem than it actually is.

Every professor has once been a graduating senior undergrad. You can tackle this "problem" way better by just remembering those days. It's kinda the last stretch of your extended childhood before the rat race & every growing student loans pretty much drag you into adulthood.
So those last few weeks are naturally full of "holy shit, I'm not going to meet my friends again!" epiphanies. And that changes their "utility function". Especially if their gpa is pretty good anyway And/or they have a job or grad school lined up anyway.
