At the conclusion of her Foundations courses, Dana Basinger sends a letter to the parents of her students, accompanied by a class photograph and student essay.  In the letter to parents, Dana says, "Rest assured that we take seriously our charge to nurture persons, and that we count it a privilege to help shape your children into the mature adults that you have always hoped for."
