Yay for VI Marmots!

1/n Yesterday on @chris I commented (https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/115612771113881465) about the #PostSecondary review announced by the #BCNDP.

Today, on #socialBC I want to do a summary thread on this 145 page “State of Post Secondary in Canada 2025”.

I am grossed out by its AI fanboying -- a statement on the "state" of education in itself -- but the data is good... so... onward.

1/2 Had a nice #SOSSBC #SocialBC AGM last night!

We welcomed @trishalynn as our new Vice President on the Board. She brings a wealth of experience that will help us immensely. Thank you so much Trisha Lynn!!

We also heard from @jrenken as things progress for our BC hosted (and kindly donated!) server space. He's working hard on documentation and ensuring it will be robust and ready to roll as we leave our @mastohost shared space in the next couple months.
