MY CLASSROOM AT UP



This is the nicest computer classroom I've ever used. The horseshoe-shaped tables and beautiful new Apple flat-screen computers make it easy to see everyone and easy for them to see the front of the room when I use the big screen for videos, PowerPoints, etc. We also get free daily editions of the New York Times and The Oregonian, available in racks just outside my classroom. The students are pretty delightful and the atmosphere on campus is very caring. Another great benefit is the food. The faculty dining room offers all-you-can-eat $5 lunches that are amazing. Every day, there's at least 3 entrees and 3 side dishes, a full salad bar, and 4-5 excellent desserts, along with fresh fruit, ice cream, coffee and other beverages. I've enjoyed fresh ocean fish prepared to order, fresh jumbo shrimp sauteed in a lemon sauce, blueberry or roasted peach vinaigrette for salads, chocolate cheesecake, cheese ravioli with sage cream sauce, homegrown heirloom tomatoes, chocolate-dipped strawberries, etc. If any of you comes out to visit, I need to take you for a visit!
