Meeting mania...a normal staple of academia. As a professor of 17 years, I have had days where all I did was travel from meeting to meeting...many with little action or momentum. I have become a master of the productive day dream, in some instances. But I digress...
Today we had our school meeting, which fluctuates from some mind-numbing university business directives to some energizing meaningful conversations impacting our work. TODAY was the latter. We took some time to really reflect on our inclusion/diversity persona...how are we doing being inclusive, welcoming, supportive, diverse? Good reality check...we have work to do.
THEN we had an opportunity to band together in smaller groups to connect throughout this semester focused on a common interest/goal. I am choosing to do a common read of the "Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing our Kids for the Innovation Era" book. https://www.amazon.com/Most-Likely-Succeed-Preparing-Innovation/dp/1501104322
I am SO looking forward to taking some quality time to meet with 12 colleagues to share ideas about forward motion...making a difference...igniting a vision!
Now...off to another meeting. :)
