This Week in the Faculty Hub: Being in Good Company
With both the holidays and final exams looming over the horizon, I’ve been thinking a lot about the pleasures of being in good company.

This Week in the Faculty Hub: Welcome Back From Break!
First, we hope you enjoyed the break! Fall weather is finally here (for now, at least—who knows), and so is the spooky season, so no one’s going to bother you for marathoning Tales from the Crypt again or openly eating a bag of candy you bought “too soon” for Halloween night. Hopefully, the brief break Continue reading.

Mid-semester feedback provides real-time insight into what’s working well and where small adjustments could make a significant difference.

So I asked Sarah Symons, our Student Communications and Events Assistant, how she was feeling at this point in the semester. Sarah is a double major in Leadership Studies and Political Science and has worked with us since 2023. Continue reading.

Perhaps you are starting to fall into a more settled class routine, are collecting your first major assignments, and beginning to get Continue reading.

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: Stay Curious
We find ourselves at a peculiar crossroads. AI offers us the most powerful efficiency tool in history—one that is already reshaping the world our students will inherit. Many of us feel we have a responsibility to help them understand and navigate these tools. And yet, here lies the tension: teaching and learning resist efficiency. Real Continue reading.
