Thriving in Volatility
Higher education is faced with a choice: thrive in an unpredictable world or crumble into chaos allowing external pressures to drive change. Predictability and stability lead to mediocrity. Higher education has an important window of opportunity disguised as a challenge--to look beyond what was and see what is now possible. Relevance can never be taken for granted but needs to be earned every day.
A Simple Act of Kindness
Every now and again, we just need a simple reminder that kindness is important.
For the Graduates...You Choose
All graduates will continue on a path of their choosing and change the world in their own way. That path may not resemble what they had imagined, but it is no less significant. Regardless of the obstacles that lie ahead, remember, you choose.
For All the Moms...
This Mother’s Day, I wanted to take a minute to tell my mom and all of the other moms…thank you. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for believing that we can achieve anything and giving us the courage to try. Mostly, thank you for always being on our side.
Putting People First
Somewhere along the way, we stopped putting people first. “Do the right thing” has become a cliché instead of a business model. For once, history doesn’t have to repeat itself. We can still turn this ship around before it hits an iceberg. We just need to put people first.
What You Do Matters
Every individual can look in their past and recall one simple act or word of kindness that made all the difference in their life, their perspective, and their future, especially during a pandemic.
