Association of American Colleges & Universities - What happened? Perhaps the class was simply moving too fast for my students, who are from small-town and rural Indiana and whose experiences of diversity and difference are limited. The journey from sympathy, to empathy, to informed empathy (empathy plus knowledge), to social justice is a long, slow process. Maybe my students were not ready for "Toys for Haiti."

Center for Creative Leadership - A top priority for many organizations is to look beyond traditional strategies for management development and recruitment to create a cadre of leaders capable of moving the company forward.

Katherine R. Rowell - In general, the more interaction students have with their teachers, the more likely they are to learn effectively and persist toward achievement of their educational goals. Personal interaction with faculty members strengthens students’ connections to the college and helps them focus on their academic progress.

Lindenwood University - The purpose of this paper is to describe and highlight the role of empathy and sympathy in character education. More specifically, the bridging function of empathy and sympathy to civility and their role in promoting development in the context of forgiveness will be emphasized.

University of Portland - Recent studies have indicated a significant decline in empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, among college students. But when those students are studying fields, such as those in health care and social work, where they will work with clients who are dealing with suffering and loss, the ability to be empathetic is critical.

Inside Higher Ed - To be successful, faculty members must go beyond teaching the material, writes Matthew J. Wright. We must care deeply about students and show it.
