 I want you to be afraid of how much you love me. Communication is literally the foundation of how we understand what it is to be human. My name is Matthew Vorel, and I teach in the Department of Communication Studies. So if you've ever seen shows like The Office, the reason that it's funny is because humans are doing things that they ought not to. And so I look at what does communication look like when we're in official, professional situations. Soft skills and social skills have never been more important because we're coming into a world that's been reshaped by COVID. Also, the advent of all of this technology, we're losing the ability to know how to speak confidently, how to listen empathetically. And people might think that public speaking is the only thing that connects with communication studies. That's the base foundation. I bring this in to not just remind me that my connection to teaching, but also even more important is the essence of magic in terms of what we as people can accomplish when we let down our guards in the classroom and we are open to pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones to try to learn to do new things. We have an amazing building. It's called Riverview. Riverview was built in 1911. It is the oldest building in the men's state system. Back in 2009, it was completely revamped to be a combination of tradition and cutting-edge technology. I'd love to be a horse. My last name is Varel, which is Czechoslovakian, which means eagle. And then also, I mean, who doesn't love a lion? So then I thought, Griffin, because now it's not just one animal, it's three baby. We're teaching school. We are an institution in which the main focus for me and for all of my colleagues is that if a student has a question that we work to figure out how to answer it and to get them not where we think that they need to be, but we help them who they want to be.
