Assignments requiring weekly alumni conversations, LinkedIn/resume practice, and informational interviews meaningfully increase students’ experience with real networking tasks and improves how comfortable they feel networking. Small interventions can bring a big payoff for career readiness.

Got to see the great @imwithherband.bsky.social last night in Austin with the great @ihamerly.bsky.social. Wonderful, wonderful music.
Three singers, members of the band I'm With Her, standing on a stage. Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O'Donovan holding a fiddle and two guitars.

We faculty heard some pretty astounding numbers yesterday. The big whopper is that our unit (all the historians and social scientists) costs the university about $1.4m a year. Because we teach so much (all those "student credit hours" we account for), we bring into the university more than 3x that.

I've really enjoyed these 15 minute watercolor lessons. The compositions are really different than my usual style, but I love them.

I sign every email to students the same way and I do this about 20 times a day. Despite this, Microsoft Outlook guesses wrong about how I want to close my email every.single.time.
Best wishes,
