Emily Dawson is a 2011 graduate of Grosse Pointe South High School and just completed my sophomore year at the University of Michigan and is currently a psychology major and as of right now I plan to go into education. People seem to think I'm pretty witty, so follow me on twitter @e_daws. David Harris will be a sophomore at the University of Michigan studying either Computer Engineering or Chemical Engineering. He spends most of his time out of the library either at a UofM sports game or leading a youth group for high school students.

How can you demonstrate and communicate to students that they matter?

Some students are convinced that any writing assignment beyond 140 characters is both cruel and unusual punishment and unconstitutional. Our legal department is still checking into this. In the interim, here are some proven strategies to get students excited about jumping off the 140 character cliff and smiling on the way down.
