The public perception that rural localities have been “left behind” might be incorrect: the rural workforce represents 13% of the total 25-to-64-year-old working population in the US and holds 12%, or a roughly proportionate share, of the good jobs. bit.ly/3SJZIxI

Tonight I completed a R&R that has been agitating me for a month. It was such a relief to hit send on the email to the editor. I'm gonna savor this moment, then get back on the R&R train tomorrow (3 more to get done by Dec!). Let's geaux. #FacultyLife #HigherEd #DeadlinesLooming

SACSA Conference. Louisiana (for work + play). ASHE Conference. Thanksgiving. Complete 3 R&Rs, some other writing, teaching/assignment feedback, and spring course prep between everything. Then end of the semester. Whew! #TravelAdventures #DeadlinesLooming #FacultyLife #HigherEd

Sometimes we meet deadlines easily. Other times, we're both asking for our own and granting others' deadline extensions in the same day. It'll all get done ... in time ... even if it's not on time. Give folks (and yourself) some grace. #HigherEd #FacultyLife #DeadlinesLooming

It's that time of year again to point out that everyone gets rejected from things they apply to - conference sessions, publications, awards, jobs. This year, I'm 8/13 or 61.5% on conference proposals. So, if you got rejected, I'm with you, and I encourage you to keep submitting!

3 presentations with great colleagues ✅ 2 silent auction items secured ✅ Countless hugs with friends ✅ A wonderful #SACSA2024 learning experience! Thanks to the SACSA Executive Council and Conference Team for creating this space! #HigherEd #FacultyLife #SAPro
