We never know what people are enduring. Humans...we are wonders.

Thank you, Chadwick, for gifting us with your greatness in the midst of a painful struggle.

@kyleejohnson With respect, I think very few institutions who are in this very serious situation are trying to claim parity with established online programs. We’re just trying to ensure continued community and academic experiences in far less than ideal circumstances. It’s a crisis mgmt frame.

@CentralSqTech thank you!

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

Hello @CentralSqTech - Contacting you this way as a last resort to get some help on contract legal language before we give up and look at another vendor. Please get in touch. Account exec escalation has been a dead end.

Another unhelpful experience with @Hertz Gold. Hertz, please message me. You need to do better.

Hear hear. Digital native is not a helpful framing for so much of what we do in educational IT.

[Mike Richichi @chairthrower]

Happy to hear the speakers debunk the “digital native” trope. In fact academically disadvantaged students may not be as facile with technology #cunyit19

Sage words from @Lin_Manuel "When you were asked about Mary Poppins did you say yes right away? Are you crazy? Absolutely not, I talked to my WIFE first!" #wdayrising

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

Really enjoyed leading this session with my fantastic colleague Ellen Wall. Fortunate to have an incredibly dedicated team from across the college at Smith working on our IT transformation. #wdayrising

[Lori Crockett @loricrockett]

Great session on change management from Smith College for higher education institutions (or any organization) moving to @Workday #wdayrising

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

@loricrockett @Workday Thank you! Ellen and I enjoyed giving it!

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

Very moved by the stories of Mick Ebeling, CEO of Not Impossible, of simple tech ideas to address hunger in local communities. Not solving the whole thing (yet), but not walking away. Commit, and figure it out. #wdayrising

#OctaviaButler and I share a birthday. This was on the back of her notebook and it’s my favorite thing ever. Because I have a similar letter to myself in my journal. Write your life into existence.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Appreciated the chance to experience the VR work https://t.co/ieCBZTUgUw at #scinclusion conference today. Gratitude to @yeisenhauer, @jmalkows, Dan Bennett and colleagues for the experience and the prompt to consider the corrosive personal effects of structural racism.

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

Much food for thought at this session today. Currently reflecting on how our tech-enabled practices come into play in this discussion.

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

Fantastic talk by @morganmundum at #GartnerSYM, on the coming collision between the workplace and higher ed. Plus great contextual use of “live long and prosper”

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

@triplingual @YaleCTL @yalelibrary Congrats, and have fun!

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

Hey @MyFitnessPal your app won't let me set up a data connection from popular step tracking app without giving up my friends list on that app. Not an option because #privacy. I'm hoping this is just a misunderstanding with an easy fix. Can you help?

[Samantha Earp @ssearp]

Dear @getsmarter, could you provide a way to access course brochures without requiring a phone number? I get why you'd want phone numbers for course registrants, but just for info? In today's age of phone spam, it's a turnoff.
