Saturday morning video (early) -- Muppets rock!

Hi All,

I'm going to take some time away from the computer this weekend, so I'm posting your weekly video early! Typically, I try to find videos under 2 minutes (after all, you have work to do!), however, in honor of the holiday weekend and the fact that sometimes muppets rock, I bring you:

Muppets sing Queen!

Good luck with the work! Cheering you on,

Harriet

Working adult students, on my mind...

I hope this blog will be helpful to friends and others involved in a variety of endeavors. However, I created the blog with students in mind and continue to develop it with that specific group as my focus.

I believe that with the increase in evening, weekend, and low-residency programs, students are working more and more in isolation. If we were all full-time students on campus, we would have the informal support that comes with being able to go down the hall and talk with a colleague, etc. But instead, we are working late nights and weekends at home in front of the laptop.

With that in mind, I hope the encouragement lounge provides brief moments of respite and energizing connection. This does not at all replace valuable face-to-face contact. Many aspects of the academic journey can only be addressed via in-depth conversations with colleagues and teachers. And I would always rather sit down and talk with someone than to communicate online. Nonetheless, my aim is to give you one more channel for quick hits of support.
