Izzi Stern, Ed.D.

It’s official! I just registered for my first semester as a doctoral student at Vanderbilt University. I am excited to continue my educational journey by pursuing my Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree in Leadership & Learning in Organizations.

2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ days until graduation 🎓

Substituted for an @AU_Experience Instructor today. I forgot how much I enjoy being with students in a classroom environment.

Two semesters to go!

In a 69-page dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia M. Sotomayor, joined by Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan, argued that “minority students will bear the burden of today’s decision.” chroni.cl/3r3R8Q5

So many great moments and memories from this past year!

Great weekend in Nashville with LLO cohort 12! I loved getting to meet most of my incredible classmates in person for the first time.

When you have 9 meeting scheduled for tomorrow, and that doesn't include your evening class.

@ASwansonGoff Congrats, Amanda!!! 🥳 I think we have at least one class together again in the spring. I've missed being in class with you!

Great piece by my mom and her colleagues on race-conscious admission policies and how reversing or restricting these practices will impact medical education.

When you are still in class 40 minutes after it was supposed to end...

I think #MidnightsTS might become my go-to soundtrack when writing papers after midnight

Having less than a two-week break between semesters is rough and not enough time for a break, but back in student mode tonight with Data Science to kickoff semester 5⃣ #almosthalfway

We are delighted to announce that our online Ed.D. program was named #1 in the country by @FortuneMagazine. Our hybrid model allows students to pursue high quality doctoral study, foster a strong community, and engage in meaningful personal and professional development.

That moment when you look at the time on your computer and realize it’s almost 8:30pm and you are still in your office

Spent my first day back from vacation in 7 hours of meetings. I think I'm ready for another vacation.

@johnlukebell Thanks, Luke! Hope your summer term is going well.

Got Beyoncé new single on repeat while finalizing my paper and stats homework. This is the motivation I've been waiting for.

@mochamomma Our conversation tonight about the passage of time reminded me of this book: The Fall of Freddie the Leaf: A Story of Life for All Ages. If you DM me your address, I'll send a copy to you.

Had the opportunity to co-lead a rich discussion on legitimate peripheral participation, the trajectory of learning, & communities of practice in tonight's class. My cohort shared powerful insights, diverse examples of practice, & visuals to represent the LPP lens.

Just brewed my fourth cup of coffee for the day. Totally normal.
