Prince and the Funk had Paisley Park. Mary Fields had all of Cascade, Montana, Batman the Batcave, and Superman the Fortress of Solitude.
We have this incredible space. Since I joined student affairs so many years ago, every campus had a hang-out spot. A place staff could go to laugh, vent, or decompress. I hope this will become such a place for you here online.
Here I will share my path, tricks of the trade, challenges, advice, thoughts, and passions. Our main topics are Career, Creativity, Family, and Finance, all from the lens of a student affairs professional. So place any mask you wear for day-to-day interactions on the table and explore!
