Being a Dean at a community college means covering the learning commons desk or moving a TV, if need be - both of which, I’ve done this week!

I am proud of our team for writing and receiving a grant through Lowe’s Foundation for a half a million dollars to build an interdisciplinary lab, and have the opportunity to develop a residential electrician program that is so desperately needed!

Congrats, Dr. Tobby Bragdon (Ph.D. '24, Higher Education), who last week successfully defended his dissertation, "Rural Realities and Equity in the Vertical Transfer Pathway: Reshaping Policy Discourses in Higher Education Articulation Agreement Policies." Fantastic work!

Addressing the ‘deficit’ perception in education is vital.

As an advocate for inclusive and equitable education, I believe we need to celebrate the diverse experiences students bring, rather than focus on perceived deficiencies.

Reflecting on the need for proactive, equity-centered policy-making in education has been enlightening. Policies must consider the unique challenges of all student groups, especially in transfer processes, to ensure fairness and inclusivity. #EducationalPolicy #AcademicChatter

Exploring the complexities of defining ‘rural’ in higher education has been eye-opening.

It’s crucial we develop policies that acknowledge the diverse needs of rural students, ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities.

I have been diligent about coding and/or writing at least an hour a day since the summer; and just like fitness, it truly is about consistency. ✏️📚

It was pure insanity today at work, but I’m still sitting down and working the hour I have committed to my dissertation tonight.

[Tobby Bragdon @tobybragdon]

Coding the data is by far the highlight of my doctoral program!

I love seeing what emerges!

@Ksmith080 Thank you! This is helpful!

Who’s used NVIVO for qualitative research?

Pros/cons?
Are their similar programs?

Congress doesn’t represent the people - todays hearing proved that.
