Abstract
One great joy of mine has been to serve as part of a supporting cast for the many professors who have come from afar to Philadelphia each year since 2004 to take an intense educational excursion into the Temple University Inside-Out Instructor Training Institute. The distinct privilege of meeting and working alongside courageous souls who are committed to a noble humanitarian effort—“teaching”—has continuously inspired me to strive toward moral excellence.
We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started,
And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
