C. Miller and E. Harward's great ideas for inclusive recruiting/admissions processes are *equally* important for how we create curriculums. Until our classrooms and content are as inclusive as our recruiting practices, we will not achieve an inclusive institution. #nacacGWI

Christopher Miller and Emmi Harward: Some good resources to check out later...

Last concurrent session of #nacacGWI that I'm attending: "What Does Affordability Really Mean? Critical Needs and Hidden Costs" with Stephanie Gonzalez, Mindy Wright, and Twink Williams Burns.

Gonzalez, Wright, and Williams #nacacGWI: lack of growth of wealth in Black/Latinx over the last 5-6 decades means that increases in college costs disproportionally hurts BIPOC.

Gonzalez, Wright, and Williams #nacacGWI: "What is our ethical obligation to students? This is a question not just for admissions but for all across campus."

Williams #nacacGWI: "So much of what students need is directly tied to their sense of belonging on campus, which is tied to persistence." I look forward to reading more about students' "sense of belonging" after this conference. It is encouraging that financial assist. can help.

Many thanks to NACACedu for an amazing conference experience at #nacacGWI. I learned so much and will bring back some incredible resources and knowledge back to my institution. I was proud to attend with four other administrator colleagues from the Univ. of Delaware School of Music!

If education is content delivery, books surely do that just fine. And they’re pedagogical. They provoke discussion. But education is community, listening, collaboration, care. It’s visceral and sometimes ephemeral. The best teachers challenge us and are responsive in the moment.

Who knew that coaching a robotics team would transform my approach to teaching music? It's been cool using problem solving principles developed as a musician to train this team to compete successfully in a STEM comp. Send the Mind MONCS to Competition! gofund.me/176c23c6

So proud of my colleagues, who are in Iceland presenting on a #musictheory / #mtped community engagement project that Elise conceived four years ago! That many years later, the project is going strong with the involvement of students and faculty in music and engineering!
