[Weber State Admissions @getintoweber]

Patrick Luo excelled in classes throughout his time at Weber. Through Weber's Counseling and Psychological Services, he learned to take care of his mental health along the way, realizing that mental wellness is just as important as academic success.

Too many barriers. Thanks to Board leaders committed to expanding opportunity. https://t.co/yOKBzlgntG

Are institutions perpetuating perverse discounting? Low starting price, goes up from there. Why not just reduce overall price if we really want students to complete college?

[Inside Higher Ed @insidehighered]

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated already-existing trends, pushing the average tuition discount rate for first-time undergraduates to 53.9 percent this year. Expect discounting to keep climbing even after the pandemic subsides. https://t.co/BH8oXKI4cN

"The Rainbow Connection” is one of my favorite songs of all time. Something about it makes me long for my childhood and brings me comfort. This one is for the kid in all of us, Kitchen Cover #8: https://t.co/jbkmuv1kXc

Yesterday. Shoutout to Sir Paul for this genuine masterpiece. Hope you enjoy it. https://t.co/4NuL8z0Nt0

[Yo-Yo Ma @YoYo_Ma]

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort: Dvořák – "Going Home”

Stay safe.

Years ago, I visited my friend #MisterRogers to play this song. This is for the kids and their grown-ups who are at home together. Sing along with me! #songsofcomfort
