This is always my favorite weekend of the year: Commencement!

I've just re-read the list of names of forty graduates of The Werner Institute at  at Creighton University who will be designated Masters of their field, this weekend. The field of Negotiation and Dispute Resolution attracts, and develops such wonderful people - and it has been such an honor to have been a small part of their path.

Every year, at about this time, the world becomes a bit of a better place, and I become a little more hopeful.
