Just finished “Hacking College” by @carlsonics.bsky.social and Ned Scott Laff. Should be required reading of all in higher education as we collectively fight to survive so that our country survives.

It’s not even Chanukah but the first gift arrived, thanks to “Hacking College” co-author Scott Carlson. I’m so psyched to dig into this important book on making college more meaningful and valuable for students. And hey @JHUpress: nice cover too.

I hate social media, but if you're a writer, artist, creator, etc., it's all about this. So I'm here for a while.
