It was my privilege to be a co-facilitator on the Mellon Foundation grant that funded this project. And this resource, produced by some of the participants, is AMAZING. Wondering about how to build a culture of care for faculty and staff at your institution? There are tremendous ideas here!

Wrong answers only for someone’s request that you use the mic in the room. I’ll start: “I feel like I’m loud enough.”

Time for another round of guess what campus is Viji at? I’m excited to be here!

“The song, during Chapman & Combs’s five-minute performance, felt incredibly spacious — larger than the limitations of genre, welcoming & expansive enough to hold every single person it had ever touched, regardless of the markers of identity that so often divide us.” www.nytimes.com/2024/02/05/a...

Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs Gave America a Rare Gift: Harmonywww.nytimes.com Culture can too often drive us apart. At the Grammys on Sunday, two artists delivered something different.

Woot! Woot! Look who is in town? @kellyhogan.bsky.social and I sat for an interview with @dewsbury.bsky.social. The only downside is that I had to trek all the way to that other campus down the road from us… 😆

In creating an agenda for a meeting in a couple of days from today, I dated it 1.32.24. I think that about sums up how January is going.

Wow. Acceptance in 9th grade with no obligation to attend — just support for navigating college prep provided a good record is maintained. Amazing! This is how we can move the needle on college bound access. www.insidehighered.com/news/admissi...

Fresno State guarantees admission to ninth graderswww.insidehighered.com California State University, Fresno, is promising admission to local high schoolers as early as ninth grade, hoping to boost enrollment and build a “culture of college-going.”

New, from me: the campaign to remove the President of Harvard is not really about plagiarism. It is part of a broader campaign against DEI. And too many in the media have confused covering the story with participating in the campaign. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-campai...
