Students are keenly aware her class period starts when she \u201ccracks the can\u201d of her favorite diet cola to deliver her toast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Hageman said, \u201cBetween the flood of last year and now COVID-19, the students\u2019 stories have so touched me, as so many suffer with a major hardship. Their positive responsiveness to rapid change is about the most inspiring thing ever. The symbolism of the raising of their mugs just says it all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems fitting that the familiar \u201ctoast\u201d ritual continues, even with remote delivery. A DPT 1 student recently thanked Dr. Hageman for \u201cbeing upbeat on an early Monday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps some traditions are meant to be timeless.<\/p>\n<!-- <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/voicedwhispering.php\" title=\"ohP  gt A WL obc\">ohP  gt A WL obc<\/a> --><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a Monday morning, first class period of summer session, first time for complete remote delivery of the course.
