Connect with other professionals and support your writing with a summer writing group by Dr. William Lopez and Dr. Lisa Nakamura from the University of Michigan.

Writing has a way of becoming the slow, smoldering fire that you can always just put out later. One way to address this: PROTECT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR!

Join us in blocking off time this summer to write together. More details & sign up here:

The International #dayofpink is a great time to reflect on how we can remove social barriers and prevent bullying in our classrooms and workplaces.
In doing so, we will show solidarity with the #2SLGBTQIA+ community and continue fighting for equality and acceptance.

On World Autism Awareness Day as a post-secondary instructor, how can you help support students with Autism to succeed in your course?
A well-structured course, including a rubric, is a primary way to ensure that each student maximizes class learning.
