My favorite snow photo!

Hi All,

Here's a little more fun for your weekend. Of all the photos that I have seen of this most recent snow storm, this is my favorite. My cousin Jess took this in D.C. Thanks Jess!

Cheering you all on in your work!

Did someone carve that into the snow, or was there really a car there? But if there was a car then how come the imprint didn't get totally messed up when it left...?

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.
