This evening ECFD faculty and students donned their caps and gowns in their living rooms for a lovely virtual celebration of our Fall 2020 graduates! Congratulations, grads! The work you're doing with children and families is extraordinary. Keep it up and keep in touch.

[ECFD MoState @EcfdMOstate]

Come learn with us in the Early Childhood and Family Development MS program. We've got fantastic faculty who will work with you wherever you are - it's all online!

If you're in higher education, you need to read the #BlackintheIvory thread. If Black Lives Matter is a statement your colleagues/dept/college/university is using, we must examine what that means for our institutions.

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

Our kids are not "colorblind." We must be talking to them right now about the demonstrations, about police brutality, about racism.

[ECFD MoState @EcfdMOstate]

We are listening to the experiences of Black students @MissouriState. It is imperative that anti-racism is ingrained in all courses & practices. ECFD will work to dismantle systemic racism. Faculty are updating policies & practices, & will send to students & community to review.

[ECFD MoState @EcfdMOstate]

Colorblindness perpetuates injustice, as it erases the strengths and experiences of people of color and it ignores, blames, and explains away oppression. Talk to children about race and racism. Raise anti-racists. https://t.co/Gxzuk2Sc4T

Professionals working with students and families - want to learn more about supporting the psychosocial needs of children, adolescents, families, and communities? New graduate certificate coming soon (see flyer for details)!

[ECFD MoState @EcfdMOstate]

CONGRATULATIONS 2020 ECFD Graduates! We had a wonderful time commending you at our celebration earlier this evening. Loved to see those caps and gowns. The work you are doing through practice, policy, & research will enrich the lives of countless children and families. Well done!

To our spring #BearGrads, a group of nearly 3,000 scholars we'll never forget: Congratulations. You will do great things in this world. 🐻🎓

[Dr. Elizabeth King @Dr_EKing]

I had a wild idea that Brad Pitt would do his hometown a solid & cheer up @MissouriState grads who won’t walk this Friday. Haven’t heard from anyone I emailed, so here’s a video I never thought I’d share. Last shot for my students.

@HiltzikStrat help us! Twitter, do your thing.

Congratulations to @MSUGradCollege #BearGrads from @JulieJMasterson.

"You're now among only 13 percent of Americans who hold a master's or doctoral degree."

Here you can find several videos illustrating the power of essential workers in early care and education. I totally didn't cry watching The Power of Relationships. Especially not after a long week in a global crisis. Nope. https://t.co/4hDvIVkAc7
