@meritnetwork A great example of how investment in research infrastructure turns into an investment good for everyone!

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Roger Federer dropped some real wisdom in his Dartmouth commencement speech:

He won nearly 80% of his 1,526 professional matches, but only 54% of the points he played.

Even one of the greatest tennis players of all time lost almost half his points.

His lesson: Don’t dwell on every mistake. A double fault, a lost point, even a bad day, it’s just one point. The champions move on quickly with the same focus and fire for the next one.

This is one of the best mindset lessons I’ve heard in a long time. It applies way beyond tennis.

Life is full of losses and setbacks. The difference between average and exceptional is how quickly you reset and keep playing.

A grandparent sees a first smile over video. A student calls home from campus. A family stays close across the miles. For nearly 60 years, we've helped keep Michigan connected to the moments — and people — that matter most. 💜

Happy Valentine's Day!

51.8% of Michigan’s working-age adults hold a skill certificate or college degree, but we’re aiming higher. The goal? 60% by 2030.

My theory: burnout has nothing to do with how many hours or how hard you work. It's caused by working for people you don't like, towards goals you don't believe in, in systems that grant you no agency.
