---

I am greatly looking forward to my break from Towson but not before thanking you all for a great academic year. And thank you for your personal correspondences of gratitude along with the exemplary work many of you produced this year. To wrap things up, feel free to stay in touch. You may always approach me through email regarding your performance in my class while at Towson, your academic and professional success, or any letter of recommendation. We were in English this time around for new media! Looking forward to what comes next. Peace, out. Steve Thompson Visiting Assistant Professor
