I'm in! I would absolutely love to teach in this sort of place. One of the best parts of it would be having colleagues who share my sense that this is what we should be doing on behalf of our charges. As it is, I work among too many profs who really don't care much about teaching effectiveness.
I don't know how design education fits into this scheme, but I think it could. Also, I do a lot of travel-based teaching (in Rome doing that now; a 6-week driving-around the US program in the fall). I bet you could work that in as well.

Congratulate yourself either way. My granddaughter is headed to university this year and there cannot ever have been a time of such uncertainty across so many domains.
For memory sake. I studied business at the university in Muenster, Germany, from 1969 until 1974, 9 semesters. One of my closest uni friends resided in a large dorm with a huge kitchen on each floor. Leonhard always told me that deep discussion came up when the students met in the kitchen to prepare their meals and were eating together. Plato and Oxford, decades ago.

I too come from an academic family — with profs back to the 18th century. So I know from the lore how much academia has changed over time.
