100% smoke free since early July. I'm not going to claim it was easy, but it wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected, which has been a pleasant surprise. If I had known it was going to go this way, I would have done it a decade ago.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
