Letters – Spring 2019
Lots of “love” for lots of stories on social media. And, speaking of love, it’s always nice when those who are supposed to be our biggest fans really are our biggest fans: Thanks Alan Rousseau, aka Dan’s younger brother, for posting on our story about your big brother’s Hollywood lighting career. It is indeed “awesome and interesting.”

I love this [Lactation Innovation]! I had no clue how much my daughter was consuming when I was nursing and I felt so lost. Excellent idea.
Rachel Lyke ’07 (CLAS), Hillsborough, N.J., via Instagram
Awesome [Lactation Innovation]! In the old days, we would weigh a baby on a sensitive breastfeeding scale, then nurse them, then re-weigh them, old school.

I love these CEO stories! Would love to see them come to life with a networking event with current students.

The Fight for Physical Literacy
I agree wholeheartedly — children need more movement. I squeeze in movement whenever I can, but time is tight. When pressure to perform well on high-stakes testing (as well as multiple district benchmark assessments) is alleviated, I think you’ll see more teachers jumping on the physical literacy bandwagon — it’s fun for us, too! DiStefano is on the right track encouraging families to take more responsibility for physical literacy — home is where it all begins!

Love Professor Bergendahl! She’s a treasure to the UConn political science department.

UConn putting a conservative in the spotlight — cherish it while you can.

Tom’s Trivia
I was a Blue Legionnaire, the “arresting” force for the Black Triumvirate, scouring campus during orientation for “culprits” who were tried onstage by the BT. The major crime was not wearing the freshman beanie. Sentences may have involved whipped cream during trial on a raised platform.
