Professor Michelle Amodei of Slippery Rock University (and her family!) know the power of public higher education in Pennsylvania. It’s time to increase state support for all of public higher ed in the Commonwealth.

If we don’t defend public higher education in Pennsylvania, who will? Everyone deserves the opportunity to learn. We must all stand together on Sept. 28 at the AffordableCollegeNow! rally in Harrisburg. RSVP: www.apscuf.org/sept28rally #AffordableCollegeNow

This little terrorist had us up 5 times last night to pee and still pooped in her crate 🙃 but she sure is a cutie.

The professors and instructors who turn classrooms back into spaces for reading and discussion, are going to leave the biggest legacies in this world. Everyone one else will disappear into LLM wallpaper proxies and derivatives.

Reacting to the past games, while a ton of work, are really so rewarding. I love when students get super into it! Also this game is turning out quite wild due to some unfortunate absences on key days

"General Will? More like King's Will" is the headline for this Jacobin newspaper for today

It's been 6 years since I lived in Lexington and I got to visit again for a wedding. It's insane how much has changed and how much new construction there is. Glad to see our brutalist history office building hasn't changed a bit and North Lime Donuts still slap.

I would LOVE TO be able to say the typos in my PowerPoints are a pedagogical tool because I am modeling that authenticity matters and mistakes are ok as long as you are trying and not offloading all of your cognition to AI. But really I am just overworked and on a time crunch.

Hope Erskine is off to a great start! I am hopeful they aren't pushing AI/online modules quite as hard as where I am!

As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

There is a little Italian restaurant near us that is 1) Only open 11:30 am-5:30pm on Sundays. 2) has a limited menu with some combination of pasta, red sauce, meatballs, and bread. 3)Looks like it is in a church basement But it also has this meatball sandwich the size of a football.

Academic ranks are weird. And higher Ed is a hot mess. But: I am so pleased to announce I will be an Associate professor next year. I am so grateful to my mentors, colleagues, friends, and family who all made this possible!

Pittsburgh Airport got a massive renovation. But, I might be the only person in the world that looks forward to seeing the old 1980s tile work. It's still around in parts. My father & grandfather were tile setters and worked on the airport. I wonder if the new floors will last over 40 years?

I do that in my 100-level courses. 10 point quiz on the readings once a week. AND they can take it as many times as they want BEFORE CLASS (the goal is engagement with the reading before class, not catching them in an error).

Corinne Gressang @corinnegressang.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

No! I have wonderful thoughtful critical thinkers too! But a concerning number of students are falling behind.

Corinne Gressang @corinnegressang.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

How are you doing this? I would love to hear what you are doing. I assign readings. They don't do them. We go over them in small groups in class, and they don't take notes. I am struggling with how to build more practice into the course in a meaningful way. (And that they will engage with)

Corinne Gressang @corinnegressang.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Same, they have no concept of the problem.

Corinne Gressang @corinnegressang.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Exactly. I love pushing my students to do hard things by supporting those who need extra help... But.... I can't start with basic vocabulary and reading comprehension.... In college.

Somehow they don't like me asking things like "let's look at your class notes and reading notes make sure you are prepared for the exam."
