Summers have become a kind of contested space in our family now; since I’m now in a 12-month alt-ac position and my husband has left academia altogether, our summers are no longer as flexible as they once were. More...

CEO/President, Mother, and Spouse
Disclaimer: I haven’t figured it all out. Being a college president is a 24-hour, all-consuming job. The role is probably most like a hospital CEO position, with all its dimensions and responsibilities for people and the institution. One of the best articles that I read recently on the multiple facets of the job came from Deloitte University Press and it was titled Pathways to the University Presidency. While it focused on how people get to the top job, it also highlighted the major responsibilities of a college president. More...

Commencing Countdown
For many of us in higher education, May is commencement season. This is often the time when we get to experience the visible results of all of our hard work - work that is often hidden in late-night email exchanges with students or heartbreaking office hour meetings. More...

My First Conference (and What I've Learned Since!)
I admit it: for my first conference presentation, I did a lot "wrong." I was a junior submitting an abstract for work I hadn't actually done yet to a conference in a field I wasn't officially studying. I had an undergraduate advisor in engineering who didn't even know I was submitting to this conference. More...

Wanted: Thesis Supervisor
When it comes to the graduate student experience, people talk about the role of the supervisor a lot. We often discuss picking a supervisor and managing your advisor. A recent blog post over on Thesis Whisperer called “How to get a rock star supervisor” offered recommendations on what students should consider when looking for a supervisor. More...

Celebrate Classroom Success

Law and Order
By now, teaching assistants have read the last term paper, marked up the last test, and submitted the last grades of the year. At least I hope that’s true for your sanity’s sake, as it is June 12 and several weeks into pool season. Ideally grading went smoothly: all your students turned in stellar, original work and their (and your) hard work throughout the semester was amply rewarded with an accompanying boost to their GPAs (and your student evaluations).
