Message for today -- You Can Do It!

Hi All, It's a rainy monday in Pittsburgh... end of February... well into the spring semester. I know lots of folks are tired. So today, I send you a simple message... whatever you are working on, you can do it! You may feel tired, ready for a break, ready for some sun....along with all that though, know that you can do it! So, one step at a time, make your way through your work, and you will reach your goal.

All the best!

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.
