Monday Musings from The Kravis Center Monday, January 28, 2019 Dear Colleagues,
Perhaps it was the temperature rise last week from 0 degrees to 50 and seeing students in tee-shirts and shorts that got me yearning for summer - for sunny days, tending gardens, hiking, perhaps some swimming, and yes, professional development. Although I know what an exercise in futility it is to think too early about the warm months ahead, I don't think it is ever too early to think about summer professional development plans. Included in this Monday Musing are both some new opportunities that faculty have passed along my way, and also the PD doc that outlines a variety of external development opportunities. Therefore, for those of you who will be part of the PD cycle next year, start your journey here!
And finally, as the temperatures begin to fall once again (as they should!), I thought you might enjoy a listening to this podcast to find out how a poem a day can keep the doctor away!
P.S. As a reminder, Tim Kay sent out an email last week about Finalsite permanently removing archived class group spaces on the portal system for academic years prior to the 2014-15 school year. Please make sure that you save any files that you might need.
