As President-Elect Obama put it so well last night, no matter who you voted for, now that the campaign is over, the real challenge of collective service and sacrifice can begin. Kudos to all of my students on all sides of the political spectrum who labored to get us this far. But this is only the first step. We have a clear and common direction now. Let's get to work.

P.S. Remind yourself of Obama's proposals on higher education.

P.P.S. Take a moment to laugh.
