From DSC:
When the world is moving at 180 miles per hour, we can’t be looking 5-10 feet ahead of the race car. The necessity of peering out into the horizon is key. Students need to develop the ability to pulse-check a variety of factors and landscapes. They need to develop an appreciation for developing potential future scenarios and then figuring out their responses/plans to these scenarios. This also applies to those of us working in higher education…especially these days!
