“I think the demand for philosophers with A.I. training is, if anything, outstripping the supply right now. It’s an area I encourage students to go into. I think these issues with A.I. will be front and center for a good while.”

A must read especially as colleges continue to cut humanities majors and we look at only obvious data points to determine programs of value. 1/2

@LittlePriestTC Love this!

On the Fourth of July, I’m reminded that #communitycolleges may be America’s most democratic invention.

Built on the belief that talent is everywhere—even when opportunity is not—they open doors, strengthen communities, and keep the American promise alive.

Happy 250th birthday!

@samantha02x_ I go until June 30. Reading a good book is the first thing on my list!

It’s my last full week at @AchieveTheDream. The sprint to the finish continues. This morning I spoke to the @siyaphumelela5 Leadership Forum about lessons learned from #ATD and this afternoon I kicked off the inaugural @ReynoldsCollege Faculty Leadership Academy.

An amazing rainbow on one of my last evenings in Silver Spring at the Achieving the Dream headquarters. A sign from my mom who believed in leprechauns?

Morning office. Pen and paper. The sunrise. Trees. Taking a moment to set my intentions inspired by being outside.

Heading out on another trip and I get this look! It is hard to leave. Note #FiFi lurking in the background.

@mvpfloorservice He is talented. He is experienced enough, I think, to be expected to be a leader on the field. I am not seeing that, I agree about the coaching staff.

An interesting opinion piece from a doctor who used ChatGPT for her own personal support. This offers lessons and parallels for college faculty whose students are using AI. https://t.co/9A4ukzTbQ9 via @NYTOpinion

Newest addition to the garden. She needs a name!
Onward!
