Batting Clean-Up: Nick Piccolo!

Hi, Nick. Thanks for taking this on and getting the students through the final week or so of the class. Let's start with the same set of question that our other colleagues have responded to and see what the students come up with for follow-up.

1.) Describe your path in your career, the key points of your decision making, the forces that got you to where you are now.
2.) What are the key things you've learned about yourself and how you work and what the rewards are for you?
3.) Describe a challenging, difficult situation you've faced, how you handled it, and what you learned from it.

I've enjoyed this blog a lot, and I look forward to more of the same!

Thanks again, Nick.

Best,

Tom

The Wise and Insightful Dean Gene!

Hi, Gene! How about if you address the same questions as Jason and Wendy? We'll see where that takes us and go from there.

1.) Describe your path in your career, the key points of your decision making, the forces that got you to where you are now.
2.) What are the key things you've learned about yourself and how you work and what the rewards are for you?
3.) Describe a challenging, difficult situation you've faced, how you handled it, and what you learned from it.

Thanks for doing this, Gene. I'm indebted and the students will benefit from your perspectives.

Best,

Tom

Wild and Wonderful Wendy Werner!

Wendy, how about responding to the same questions as Jason? See below:

1.) Describe your path in your career, the key points of your decision making, the forces that got you to where you are now.
2.) What are the key things you've learned about yourself and how you work and what the rewards are for you.
3.) Describe a challenging, difficult situation you've faced, how you handled it, and what you learned from it.

Thanks for doing this. It'll be fun for me to watch.

Jason Spratt kicks it off!

Jason, thanks so much for spending your valuable time with the students enrolled in my class this summer. They are all Ph.D.-level students enrolled in a course we call "Student Affairs Administration." I've been impressed by their engaging nature, and it's been fun to watch them discuss issues and debate the challenges they've observed in the early phases of this course.

For starters, how about addressing this collection of questions, and we'll see what discussion unfolds from the class?

1.) Describe your path in your career, the key points of your decision making, the forces that got you to where you are now.
2.) What are the key things you've learned about yourself and how you work and what the rewards are for you.
3.) Describe a challenging, difficult situation you've faced, how you handled it, and what you learned from it.

Thanks, Jason, I look forward to reading the discussion points.

Best to Melissa and MacKenzie!

Best,
