Thank you for sharing this, Dr. Trasancos. I'm fortunate to have been in your first Math undergrad class at Holy Apostles and, even though I hate math in general, you made it fun and interesting for us liberal arts majors. You were always eager to help us one-on-one and I really appreciated that.
Holy Apostles was the only Catholic college readily available for me when I first started, and alongside its excellent quality, it lets me avoid the hassle and distraction which I hated in public school. I hope you enjoy your new role at Holy Apostles! God bless!
Hi Kaleb! You're one of the reasons I'm even on Substack. Thank you for the great example that you set. I hated sitting in class in public school too. It made me anxious. I have done far better as a student in online courses. Blessings to you too! Thank you for the comment.
Very kind of you to say! If you would ever be interested in writing something for Missio Dei or my personal Substack, Saint Tolkien, please let me know, I’d love to have your contribution for either/both.
Great catching up note! I used to follow your blog many years ago and had a few (always positive exchanges) with you over the years. At the time I was teaching adjunct positions in the Chicago area (Loyola, DePaul, Northwestern) while finishing my PhD and looking for full-time work… I did manage to land one and get tenure … but it is a grueling experience … I recall you writing all those years ago that you had prioritized staying and working with your children as opposed to continuing at DuPont.
Wow, thank you for remembering back then to Accepting Abundance. I was a pretty new convert. Congratulations on your tenure and many blessings in your endeavors!
Thanks. As a convert myself, and now a ThD student (online) I realize if I ever get to teach at the undergraduate or graduate level, it's going to be as an adjunct, and most likely online. It's good to know there are upsides, because as you mentioned, you usually hear the other.

Same to you … you and your family have been in my prayers … whenever I remember!

Thank you, Chris. Especially in your field, I think you can connect with students via online. Blessings to you in your work!
