Welcome to the first newsletter of May! At this point, I imagine most of you know that my full-time job is in public higher education. It is with that lens that I say, the roll toward the end of the semester has been slow and maybe just a little painful. As a person who was raised in the Mormon church, I have an arsenol of Sunday School songs that I can recall on command - even several all about the pioneers colonizing the West. One such song goes “Here comes the ox cart, oh how slow. . . creak creak creak creak is their song”, and I think this refrain is somewhat fitting for where I’m sitting.
Thankfully, there is some celebration to be found and that is in the downright excellent interview between
Kara McGuirk-Allison
and Becca Seidel. Their conversation about lifelong learning, corageous collaboration, and the importance of having a life outside of work.
