So long, PSU

"My faculty union threw a party to mark the departure of a large group of faculty in PSU's latest Separation Incentive Program. I had decided not to speak. .... But I felt I MUST talk about one thing, and I hope I said it carefully and in good faith..."

Final episode of the season! This week, we chat with our friend, Jessie Chapman, a gifted teacher and director, about how sharing your own life creates authentic connections with students.

We just dropped our latest episode! This time, Meghan and I spoke with two graduating students who inspired us!

After a short delay, we have another episode of Seen & Heard. I'm so excited that my friend and colleague (and mentor), Cathie LeBlanc, came on to talk about a time BEFORE she was an outspoken leader on campus and how she now helps students feel (and be) seen!

Second episode is up! This one concerns a pivotal advising experience our co-host, Meghan, had and how that experience shaped her own philosophy of working to help students establish a growth mindset.

Years ago, when I had 150+ advisees in the Ascent program, I made this little sign to block the clock on my laptop screen. My calendar was so packed, and I had responded to the same questions/situations so many times, that I had to remind myself that advising is about listening, not “advicing.”

I’m teaching podcasting this spring and, as part of that effort, Meghan Merritt-Schaffer and I created our own podcast: seen-and-heard.org

It’s a podcast about those moments of discovery – finding your voice, finding your people, or finding your purpose.

First time on the ice in four years! Loved the quiet.

Dumping Facebook is like leaving a doomsday cult—they don’t make it easy! Finally was able to download all of my photos (link to instructions below) but cannot find the settings (on my iPad) to deactivate or delete my account.
