Honored to have been recognized by @uacoehp this morning and more so being recognized alongside such great colleagues and friends. This award means so much to me and even more after learning about the amazing impact that George Denny had in our college ❤️

Excited to see these results out already in July! We used to not have access to these until the first parent-teacher meeting in the Fall. Now parents can log in to see their kid’s results as they are available. A total game changer. I just wish more parents knew and use this info

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 wks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. forbes.com/sites/kimelses…
Vamos!! 👏👏👏
