An idea struck Dave McClanahan, a faculty associate in electrical engineering, like a thunderbolt one recent night. He emailed 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s chancellor and provost: Would they want to play a game of hacky sack with students of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Organization? To his surprise, both Chancellor Mark Mone and Provost Johannes Britz responded that night. Game on!<\/p>\n

Under sunny skies on Oct. 17, about a dozen College of Engineering & Applied Science undergraduates joined 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s top brass for a half hour of play and camaraderie.<\/p>\n

McClanahan is the faculty representative for the IEEE student organization. \u201cI wanted students to have exposure to some high-level university officials they normally would not come in contact with,\u201d he said. \u201cThe fact that these gentlemen were willing to hang out with a small group of undergraduate engineering students says a great deal about them and humanizes them for students.\u201d<\/p>\n

People let their guard down when they\u2019re standing around in a circle laughing, kicking a little beanbag around, McClanahan said. \u201cSome of the most honest and insightful feedback I have received from students came while we were taking a study break and playing hacky sack.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
