1. Last office hours a few people had questions about personal statements for grad school apps. I suggested a template that has worked well in my experience & have also laid it out in the thread below in case it's useful for you all. #AcademicSky #PhdSky #PsychSciSky #SocialPsyc #DevPsyc #CogPsyc

Sharing pictures from a summer event! The #Vision2030 Noncredit Regional Workshop at Woodland Community College was an historic event for the California Community Colleges and co-host North Orange Continuing Education, the noncredit campus of the North Orange County Community College District.

Five people pose in front of a conference backdrop. From left to right: a woman in a white jacket and dress with long, dark hair, a man wearing glasses, a second woman in a dark dress, another woman in a light shell top and skirt and the fifth women in a light dress and long shawl-style jacket.

Three women pose for pictures at the foot of the stairs. They are professionally dressed and smiling.

In my guide to writing effective cover letters, I advise against using AI. Not only is it not "your voice," it will likely be the voice of hundreds of other applicants vying for the same job. Originality is key.

Yesterday definitely stirred up thoughts on #leadership. I'm reminded of the wisdom of Dr. Linda Oubré who told me "I always hire people better than me. Many leaders get threatened by people. I really like a strong team who are better at things that I'm not as good at." www.wihe.com/article-deta...
