It's a shame the university chooses not to communicate details about Poe Hall with its students, staff, and faculty. We have to learn about what we've been exposed to from the news. Much appreciation for the work of @keelyarthur50YS @WRAL https://t.co/xKoAqeZzry

@kevinrmcclure The great thing about tenure is that you can explore different ways to affect the field and the public conversation about higher education. Continue to do what you find rewarding and know it may change/evolve. I suspect I'm not alone in appreciating the work you're doing.

My heart aches today. It doesn't have to be this way.

Excited to be a 2022 Visiting Fellow at @uniofjyvaskyla's Finnish Institute for Educational Research. Spending some time in Finland to examine the long-term effects of university mergers. Thanks to collaborators @charles_mathies and Jussi Välimaa for their support.

@rtoutkou @ConstanceIloh @timeshighered Don't sell yourself short. What you lack in tech capacity you make up for in dad jokes.

@RichmondCity_HD I'm trying to help my 75 year old mother get a COVID vaccine. She's a working therapist and cancer survivor. We've completed your interest form and I've called your office several times with no answer. Can you help us? Thank you.

@ProfessaJay Magnolia Animal Hospital on Capital. They care, are affordable, and don't nickel and dime. https://t.co/QKMGhWj5Jp

Took a 6-week twitter break, and I'm not even sure where to begin. Let's just say I'm feeling much more hopeful than I was 6 weeks ago.

[Review of Higher Education @RHE_ASHE]

@AshCademic & @HigherEdMoney investigate NC's College Application Week (CAW) which allowed students to apply to colleges with no application fees. Find out the # of applications colleges received and # of low-income students who matriculated during CAW. https://t.co/PV6ARHWnSO

Inspirational! @ChrisNikic is attempting to become the first person with Down syndrome to finish an Ironman. He's on the marathon leg right now.

.@ChrisNikic is a little over five miles into the run. The pace is good. One foot in front of the other!

If you’re just joining us, Chris is attempting to become the first person with Down syndrome to finish an IRONMAN. #onepercentbetter #inclusion #IMFL
