I shared this article with my students in my weekly message and the feedback was so good. Students described seeing this topic from a completely new angle. Found it really helpful, perhaps for future conversations. Perhaps share with your students?

How Can ‘Inclusion’ Be a Bad Word?
What it’s like to be asked by state lawmakers to justify your life’s work.
The Chronicle of Higher EducationBeat this compliment today by a participant in a workshop @etsu @ETSUCTE who said to me and @vijisathy “quickest 90 min on Zoom I’ve ever felt! I looked up and it was over!” We work hard to model inclusive, active engagement even in zoom! Thanks for recognizing it ETSU faculty!
Maria Wisdom discusses the value of feeling your work has impact. I think this is what drew me to focus on teaching and faculty mentoring more than research in my overall career.

The core issue many academics struggle with is how their work can have more of an impact on people.

Imagine a world where non-tenure track faculty who focus passionately on undergrad ed get endowed professorships!? Apparently it’s for real! Congrats @ShorterPearson. Would love to see research universities do this!

“Here I hope to share another perspective, in which academic administrators do not turn a blind eye or work within the parameters of the poor policies and practices of their institution.

Academic Leaders Have Responsibility to Improve Conditions for Non-Tenure-Track Faculty
Administrators should see themselves as a part of a system and network of people where anyone has agency to start change.
The Chronicle of Higher Education@BethanyNMorrison yes, I love this one too!
