I read Caring University when it came out and centered my chair job talk around it. It hits differently after last spring. But I'm glad my new institution has made caring it's thing.

Hooded two of my last EdD students. They both did amazing work supporting reading instruction in their elementary schools. I'm so proud of both of them!

Once upon a time, I was full of hope and joy when I walked up to the main gate at UNL. And this other picture, well that was the most positive face I could make today outside Teachers' College Hall

There are friends and then there are the friends who you fought along side to not have anyone's department eliminated. They send the best memes:

Another artifact. Our former chair used to create these annual departmental summeries from our reviews. Given the size of our unit, abt 15, these numbers always seemed pretty good to me.

This is the end of the 11 steps to publication that I wrote on printer paper and taped up in my office not quite 10 years ago. Somehow, I think I need to frame this collection of sticky notes that once started at stage 1: new ideas and became my scholarly career

Finally solved the mystery of why my department got cut. It's all the binder clips I've hoarded in the last decade 😂

The cherry on top of this shit sundae of a year was having to unexpectedly say goodbye to my Charlie cat. He loved sitting on my lap at breakfast, catnip and quilts. He was the best boi

2nd batch of the 22 EdD cohort and 2 members of the 23 cohort graduated today. I am especially grateful that the 22s trusted me when I said, I've never done this before, but let's try it! It worked and I'm so proud of each of these scholar-practicioners who embodies the EdD is that change the world

Stop 1 on the goodbye tour: lunch at Green Gateau in honor of our secretary & grad secretary retirements. Much reminiscing about interview dinners held there. Mine involved frogs legs and being told there was a hot seat by a senior male professor and me dropping into it saying, well it must be mine.

Today was weird. I got a teaching award for courses I created in the program I revised, which got killed this year while I got fired. But now I have an Oberon on the porch so 🤷🏻‍♀️

My desk faces a window overlooking our back alley. It's really a terrible commentary when you hope those were just cops hauling away your neighbor. Which I didn't see but I did see a familiar car get towed through the alley. Beards are definitely not standard issue on our local cops.

The metrics out of NU's central offices lists a goal of 100% online BA degrees. So the difference between your flagship R1 and the University of Phoenix is 🤏🏻

If you have to publicly be lied to while people blame you for the university and the vote to eliminate your department, do it with all your friends

If you have never had a former dance captain turned teacher educator teach you to dance for a second line for your university's future, you have not lived.
