I volunteer to be a part of these performance review committees.
It’s the end of the year. You know what that means. Tweeting me your Annual performance reviews for your pets. Did they meet expectations, exceed expectations or fail to meet expectations? Please leave a picture of your non-human resource below with their performance review.

Absolutely honored to be named one of the @PODNetworkHQ 2023 Wulff Diversity Fellows. The fellowship is especially meaningful to me, and I look forward to the work we are going to do together over the next year. #DEI #highereducation @ISLT_FSU

Sunday, from a Vancouver hotel room, I submitted my dissertation. Moments before, on TV in the background, a Canadian reporter showed #Pulse footage, in relation to the #ClubQ tragedy. An odd feeling -here, years later- as I read my dedication page before clicking submit. #LGBTQ

After the historic hurricane, institutions in the Sunshine State take stock of the damage on campuses while students deal with record flooding and power outages. #HigherEd bit.ly/3C2JpDQ

Less than a year ago, Karine Jean-Pierre spoke at our Pride 2021 (Not IRL) Summit. Now she's made history as our nation's first Black and Lesbian White House Press Secretary.

Thank you, #POD21, for an amazing conference & awards ceremony. I share this honor with several others (p. 2 of 3!) who are doing absolutely brilliant work, so I am very grateful for this recognition. I loved today's closing sentiment: " With this group, expect generosity."

Perhaps we need to ease up a bit on the “resilience” talk. Maybe try to figure out why so many systems are designed so that only those with “resilience” & “grit” are successful? I’m still processing what I think, but lately when I hear those words, I become pretty uncomfortable.
