Opinion: "On Humor, Happiness, and Higher Education."

Abstract
Sacred Heart University has been acknowledged as one of America’s most joyful college campuses. I am privileged to teach English at this university and to experience its gleeful energy every day.
 
So which factors make for a happy campus? Genuine student satisfaction results not from fancy facilities and lavish luxuries, but from a commitment to the classroom campus and community. Students are happy when their involvement comes from a caring and compassionate place, as well as a true concern for the common good. The incorporation of humor into the curriculum also enhances this living and learning experience.
