The classroom has become a more welcoming environment as well. Even students who may not personally have friends in class are more willing to participate in conversations, problem solving sessions, and labs at the round tables that greatly facilitate conversations and comradery. \r\n\r\nThank you, again, from the bottom of my heart.
