@OdessaCollege Acknowledge the challenge and release it. We only find solutions when we accept things as they are. Work with your obstacles instead of arguing with them. #TweetOC

@OdessaCollege Juggling my board service with a new business venture while nearing the finish of my degree. It is a marathon, not a sprint. #TweetOC

@OdessaCollege Parroting material isn't the same as learning it. Study to comprehend, not to memorize. In the end, logic gets the grade - not regurgitation. #TweetOC

@OdessaCollege I check in with my friends regularly, regardless of the time of year. Letting people know you're thinking of them can save lives. Send a text, drop a gif, or send an emoji. Any little thing can remind them they're not alone. #TweetOC

[Justin W. Waldrop @JustinWaldropOC]

@OdessaCollege Prioritizing myself. Being aware that my thoughts are not who I am. My sobriety. Allowing myself exist without self-judgment. #TweetOC

@OdessaCollege Justin W. Waldrop, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" #TweetOC

[Justin W. Waldrop @JustinWaldropOC]

@OdessaCollege Reading, listening, observing, and always thinking before I act. #TweetOC

[Justin W. Waldrop @JustinWaldropOC]

@OdessaCollege Active listeners who understand spotlight effect and how it impacts people's behaviors. People who practice mindfulness and give as much as they take. #TweetOC

[Justin W. Waldrop @JustinWaldropOC]

@OdessaCollege When motivation is in doubt, return to the mission. This is why I love working with nonprofits and companies with causal goals. There's always a heart and we forget it is there sometimes. #TweetOC

[Justin W. Waldrop @JustinWaldropOC]

Some thoughts as I undertake a new position, build a nonprofit service, and near graduation at @OdessaCollege. #PositivelyOC #TweetOC

[Dr. Gregory D. Williams @OCPresGDW]

The difference between ‘commitment’ and ‘try’ is, in many cases, the difference between success and failure in our endeavors. So, decide what you are going to accomplish, then do all that you can to make that decision your reality! Salute! #TweetOC #PositivelyOC

I'm dating myself here, but I read many Hank the Cowdog when I was younger! I was a big participant in the Accelerated Reader program, too. #TweetOC

@OdessaCollege Bringing the community into the gates. Many colleges and universities maintain an us/them dynamic with the locale that surround them. Allowing regular community-wide use of facilities and providing a safe place for debate is paramount. #TweetOC

@OdessaCollege I feel ill-equipped to answer this as a white cis-gendered man. That being said, I elect to identify as a homosexual and ten years ago that might have cost me job opportunities where today it would not. DEI plays a part in restructuring outdated concepts of "the lesser." #TweetOC

[Justin W. Waldrop @JustinWaldropOC]

@OdessaCollege A diverse student population with equitable access to the same resources and tools among peers. #TweetOC

[Justin W. Waldrop @JustinWaldropOC]

@OdessaCollege DEI encourages the free flow of identities while guaranteeing each representation regardless of their status. It is a concept that envisions a just and balanced society where access to resources and opportunities are evenly spread - where there is no marginalized group. #TweetOC
