Relationship-Rich Education

Peter Felten and Leo Lambert talk about their new book Relationship-Rich Education on episode 331 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

-Leo Lambert

Relationships are high stakes for students both in college and after college.
-Leo Lambert

-Leo Lambert

They’re not asking us to solve all their problems, they just want to be seen as humans.
-Peter Felten
