Abstract

The author of this opinion piece argues that effective lecturer-student relationships at the university level can be nurtured through the simple sharing of salutations (greetings) and valedictions (farewells). Readers are asked to be mindful of select considerations to positively impact students at all levels and in a variety of university classroom contexts.
