Proud professor alert! 🚨
I traveled to Chicago this weekend with 7 amazing @MorningsideEdu students for the #MPSA annual conference. Each student presented political science research they’ve conducted this academic year & did so with confidence and poise. #MsideProud #MPSA2022

@saraheschwartz @MorningsideEdu So great to see you too! 😁

[Dr. Valerie M. Hennings @Val_Hennings]

My students always find a way to amaze me. 🤩 This morning, I worked with @MsideCivic research fellows for 4+ hours finalizing survey data analysis for their upcoming #MsidePoll release on March 30.
On a SATURDAY morning 😎
Best. Students. Ever.
Best. Job. Ever. @MorningsideEdu

My first NSF grant! I’m looking forward to working with this @MorningsideEdu team! Very excited to build upon our understandings of civic engagement/identity! @MsideCivic

At the end of December, Morningside received word that we had been awarded two @NSF grants that total almost $1.3 million. The dollars will support students scholarships for students in STEM-related programs, as well as curriculum development.

@LeticiaBode Cheesecake. With a sponge cake crust just like the epic cheesecake of Junior’s in NY. As someone who can only bake one thing (a delightful chocolate cake), but a partner who hates chocolate, this cheesecake is now the second thing I can only bake. Happy (early) B-Day! 🎂

I had lots of texts last night from friends around the country watching the first #PresidentialDebate2020. My favorites? These from @_Barbara_Prince

@philosoboesch @MorningsideEdu Thanks for the invite! Your students were awesome! Loved the discussion about civic responsibilities and how tech can help and hinder our world as citizens.

[Dr. Valerie M. Hennings @Val_Hennings]

A fantastic memory!

[Dr. Valerie M. Hennings @Val_Hennings]

You just never know what you’ll experience as a @MorningsideEdu student! While on a tour of the Iowa state capitol, we ran into a presidential candidate! Thanks to @KamalaHarris for taking the time to chat with these Morningsiders. #ExperienceMatters

[Dr. Valerie M. Hennings @Val_Hennings]

As a ⁦@MorningsideEdu⁩ alum & faculty member, I have so many reasons to support #MsideStrong Week. The top reason = the honor of working with & being inspired by students like these ⁦@MsideCivic⁩ fellows every single day! #MsideProud https://t.co/LGIslFdJKD

[Dr. Valerie M. Hennings @Val_Hennings]

I asked my @MorningsideEdu students to create “End of the Semester” (aka “We Can Do This!”) playlists to help us all make it through finals week together even though we’re separated across cities, states & countries. Wow—they didn’t disappoint! #MsideStrong #MsideProud

[Dr. Barbara F. Prince @_Barbara_Prince]

YES! Exactly. PHYSICAL distancing is incredibly important right now. Not social distancing. We NEED social connection. Especially in times like these. #COVIDー19 #PhysicalDistancing #SocialConnection
