In FACET, the guy to my left was from Bowden and was a mortician's apprentice before coming to Tech. The girl on my right was the valedictorian from a small Middle Georgia HS. After our Summer Quarter, he went back to Bowden and she transferred out to Middle Georgia. So, I felt I couldn't let them down by not making it out. Actually, he may have made it through Fall Quarter before leaving.

ughhh! bad memories. Dr Su in the EE department! Class Average was curved up to a 68 so more than half the class would get a D. EE3200

You guys need to tone it down a notch on these trauma-triggering stories – I need to get some sleep tonight. Had not thought about my draft number or Dr. Su in many decades.😬

Found out they don’t do that in FASET anymore. My daughter was part of a FASET group of all transfers, most of whom were there from the Conditional Transfer Pathway program for kids of alums and other family members and such. While the kids were off doing their thing and all the families were eating lunch they asked if we remembered that and of course we all nodded and they told us they have stopped doing that as it’s a pretty negative message and they want the students to start off feeling like they belong there. It worked for us but times have changed.

The guy to my right was a friend from another HS in my area, and salutatorian of his class. The guy to my left was valedictorian of his class from Ohio and a President's Scholar. Then there was me...

The funny thing was, my friend ended transferring to UPenn/Wharton after the first year, and the other guy quit college altogether after his sophomore year to go back home and run his family's business.
