I do this primarily through my research of working and learning in higher education. When I reviewed that mission last week I realized that a project I'd put on my to-do list didn't align with my academic mission and the difference I want to make through my career and work.

No task list, no guidance on time management. Just me, wondering what on earth I was supposed to do next. Sound familiar? If you're nodding along, you're...
Hey fellow faculty, I love a good book, any time of year. Every summer one of my favorite bloggers, Modern Mrs. Darcy, puts out a summer reading guide. It's filled with all sorts of bookish delights. I thought I'd do my own take on her summer reading guide but focused on good reads for faculty. Here are my top recommendations for summer reads to support the faculty life.
