The case for diversity at work...

[S. Mitra Kalita @mitrakalita]

Departure thread: I insisted on no awkward Webex sendoff but scores of beautiful people did it anyway with backdrops of Bollywood posters, Latin dance and more. So loved. So speechless. I read them part of an awards submission I wrote for our team recently. The beat goes on...

This thread is a heartbreaking look at the ripple effect of school reopenings. Just teachers being honest about their plans to protect family once they start teaching again.

Dear everyone who emails me professionally,

Please do not say “Hope you are well” if you do not actually care about my well-being enough to have a single ounce of empathy for my situation and/or disability.

Best,

This is about right. 🤓

ATTN all university presidents who wrote emails a few weeks ago condemning police brutality and systemic racism: “What experts are certain about is that reopening campuses will reproduce and reinforce existing racial disparities.” https://t.co/ZWtMMEeCxS

I was told to get resilience training as a response to raising ongoing concerns about problematic workplace issues. Now, I'd like to build a professional development workshop: "F*ck Resilience: How to know your rights in the workplace & effectively advocate for them". Any takers?

Hate I had to miss this! So very glad it happened and went so well!

Our focus for 2019-2020 cohort is fostering students' ability to be change agents in the world inside and outside the classroom. Don't be let the bad seeds persuade you to discount the great work being done by students, faculty, and staff at @GeorgiaSouthern!

@THEsisterjanet Was it broccoli though?

More awesomeness from @GeorgiaSouthern students...

“Did you know that the small
intestine is about twenty feet long? Learned that one when a mortar shell hit the local recreational center. Gallbladders look like pears if you tilt your head a bit.”

If you shared about the book burning students at @GeorgiaSouthern share this too. The book burners do not represent the majority and the administration does not speak for our brave students. Our students are doing just fine speaking for themselves.

[Dal Cannady @wtocdalcannady]

One week after one group of students burned copies of a book by a minority author in this grill, other students used it to rally against what they say was blatant racism and white privilege.
