Saturday morning video -- How to Make Mashed Potatoes

Hi All,

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, here is your Saturday morning video:

This video is longer than what I typically post here, but it's a hoot and some folks will get some time off this week, so I decided to post it anyway.

Trying to walk my talk, I will not be posting during the week of Thanksgiving, but instead will use the beginning of the week to focus on some writing and later in the week will take some family time away from the computer.

Cheering you on in your work, and hoping you get a break!

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.
