This Week in the Faculty Hub: Crossing Things Off To-Do Lists

This Week in the Faculty Hub: The Chaos and the Calm
I’ve only been skydiving once, right after finishing undergrad. I took away two things: (1) jumping out of a plane is the best feeling on the planet (and I’d likely do it again, if anyone else shares an interest in this bonkers thing that is somehow legal), and (2) it’s nothing like how sitcoms portray Continue reading.

This Week in the Faculty Hub: The Right Amount of Butterflies
August can sometimes seem like the world’s longest Sunday—still summer, but with the school year hovering just around the corner. As much as I savor the relative calm of those last days of summer, the first day of classes always feels to me a bit like the first day of Spring: full of energy, new Continue reading.

This Week in the Faculty Hub: Changes
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Most K-12 students in the area are back in school this week. Adorable back-to-school photos will flood social media, marking the beginning of a new school year. (My son is a senior this year, what???) Our students will follow next week and turn our currently quiet campus into a cacophony of learning. It is Continue reading.
