Happy 9th birthday to the best kid in the world! #5STRIPESREDBULLS

If people resort to doing the wave out of boredom, something has gone terribly wrong at your event.

My 8 year old’s favorite new phrase when he gets excited: “What the what?!?” It’s Day 1 of our @WaltDisneyWorld visit, so I have heard it approximately 800 times so far.

Great quote from “The Usefulness of Useless: The Case for More Curiosity in Our Work” session from @EgoandEd: “You’re not doing your best if you’re not breaking some rules.” @JonBoeckenstedt #NACAC18

.@ReachHigher was an initiative borne from my own experience—the idea that an education opens up doors that are otherwise closed for kids like me. I’m thrilled that thanks to @CommonApp's commitment to those same values, that message will thrive for years to come. #ReachHigher

We had a poppin’ time this weekend at Pop In At The Pavilion 🍿 Didn’t make it? Don’t worry, you can still come talk to @EmoryIVP_CL Paul Marthers this Thursday during his office hours from 4-5pm. #LifeAtEmory

For the 37th straight year, former President Jimmy Carter will answer questions from Emory's first-year students at the annual Carter Town Hall. Watch it live on Emory's Facebook page (@EmoryUniversity) Sept. 12 at 8 p.m.

As a @Ravens fan, I'm incapable of rationality when it comes to the NFL team from Pittsburgh, so I had @Browns winning yesterday in my Pick Em league. Given the preseason predictions for both teams and the incredible 4th quarter comeback, I think I deserve points for that tie.

This is great news. A MARTA rail line in the Clifton Corridor would transform the area around Emory and the CDC, easing commute congestion for thousands of employees and giving Emory students and the residents of surrounding neighborhoods better access to downtown.

[Emory University @EmoryUniversity]

The results from #MoreMARTA survey are in, and Clifton Corridor project is a top priority for our region! Thank you to those who voted in support of the Clifton Corridor initiative, a vital project for the future of Atlanta. https://t.co/8RyCxUNVO3

A great partnership between two great organizations that support students in the college process. @TheJKCF's use of the @CommonApp for its application process will hopefully increase awareness of and access to this unique scholarship opportunity.

[Common App @CommonApp]

We're thrilled to announce a new partnership with @TheJKCF! Students can now apply to the Cooke College Scholarship directly from the #CommonApp. Learn more about this prestigious scholarship opportunity: https://t.co/myfRLXhzth

Had a lovely evening at the @AtlBotanical watching @alliancetheatre's outdoor production of A Midsummer Night's Dream with several of our fellow @DavidsonCollege alums from the Atlanta area. It runs through Oct 21, so get your tickets now. @DavidsonAlums https://t.co/qOkJPFUY82

College Board sued after August 2018 SAT questions were recycled from one already leaked online. This is a serious problem that is only getting worse as test prep firms get more aggressive in their efforts breach the security of the testing agencies. https://t.co/3iIWeY1NlN

I love our renewed focus on the student experience. So many people on campus have been engaged in this work under @prezsterk's leadership, and it's wonderful to see the vision and goals shared with the public. #EmoryChangesLives #AmazingEmory

The building is still there, and it's now the official Waffle House Museum. @WaffleHouse

As @willdix55 points out, Stanford emphasized these stats for years, which led to them becoming a false substitute for quality. So while it's the right move to back away from them, Stanford will still benefit from their use by the ranking industry and prospective students.

[Chris Pace @pace_emory]

Stanford announces that it will no longer publicize its application volume or admit rate, but will this lead to meaningful change in the perception and use of these stats? https://t.co/yHG7VYQ3y2 @willdix55 @Forbes

[Chris Pace @pace_emory]

Key question from the article: When Stanford says it's not going to publish its admit rate, is it standing up for a principle, bravely taking on the rankings monster? Or is it simply giving up something that doesn't matter in the first place?

[Chris Pace @pace_emory]

Amazing @ATLUTD: killing it in avg. attendance, have broken the MLS single-game attendance record 3 times this season (so far), and are battling it out for the top spot in the East. Oh, and @JosefMartinez17 has already broken the single-season scoring record with 8 games left.

[Mike Conti @MikeConti929]

MLS Attendance Leaders through August (avg. per home game)...
Atlanta 50,863
Seattle 40,804
Toronto 26,762
LA Galaxy 24,094
Orlando City 24,085
NYCFC 23,034
Minnesota 22,147
LAFC 22,055
Vancouver 21,490
Portland 21,144

Key takeaway (paraphrased): By putting the burden on students to make an “informed choice,” the department is ignoring the disparity between schools that say anything to get students to enroll, and students who reasonably believe that schools receiving federal aid are honest.

[Chris Pace @pace_emory]

Meanwhile the same administration is working to protect predatory institutions that depend in large part on taxpayer funds (in the form of federally-backed student loans) to survive. @TCFdotorg https://t.co/Ay1tITEYga
