Summary: As representatives of our disciplines, we all face a similar challenge in teaching undergraduates: how do we convey our excitement for our field such that it engages an audience of non-specialists? While some of our students dive in headfirst from the start, our focus will be on those who remain hesitant. To that end, we will discuss strategies for engaging students, using enthusiasm to aid in learning, and making our courses “feel” relevant.
