Running....a Showcase

Today was our annual Research and Performance Showcase Event. One of my students was among the feature presenters, and she did a wonderful job. Her presentation was titled 'When the Minority Becomes a Majority" and focused on the increasing number of women entering colleges and more women graduating than men in four years.
Unfortunately there were only about 45 people in attendance. It is difficult to get students to attend, but what is even more galling is that very few of the faculty attend. We have faculty who are upset if students don't attend their classes, yet these same bozos don't have any qualms about disrespecting the presenters by not attending the Showcase, which features the best and brightest of our school. As always, 10% of the faculty carries the load for the entire College.
