Summer Recap

Like all things since March 2020, Summer 2021 was unusual. Darby Riley and I attended the Networks 2021 Conference and the American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and the First-Year Engineering Experience Conference remotely. We made some really good professional connections and got to share our work on Engineering Education Guilds. Earlier this month, I co-facilitated a new Engineering Unleashed Faculty Development Offering: Design Your Academic Life. The pilot offering of the workshop went pretty well and we all learned a lot about how to make it better for future iterations!

I also managed to do some traveling - my mom, sister, and I spent 10 days in a Alaska and then my parents, kids, and I spent a few days in Nantucket. It was nice to be away from home, but still nerve wracking to fly.

Classes are nearly upon us, and I’m looking forward to being back in the classroom.
