We are proud to be a community college. We're not going to change our name; we're going to change your MIND. #HigherEd #RealCollege #Comm_College #CommunityCollege #EndCCstigma

@RonSexsmith You're one of the reasons I check back here from time to time.

@LikeLansing It helps that he already knows it's not easy being green.

Finally some good MSU news

@Graham_Couch You asked the best question, @Graham_Couch.

Alan Haller says he called Mark Dantonio this morning and he said, "Alan, whatever you need." His role is still being determined. He's partly going to be a resource for Harlon Barnett.

@LarryHook16 Dramatically reduced higher ed content; odd UX with more ads and posts I have no interest in; feels like the place is deteriorating and dying before my very eyes. The really silly re-brand didn't help. It's like having a conversation with someone who is being strangled to death.

@LCCPresident What differences have you noticed and disliked?

I am keeping an open mind, but this platform seems like it is completely ruined now. Pretty sad, actually. 😢

@JenAries4 I have an account. Waiting for ALT text before I really jump in. Also, it's only available on a phone right now. It's a credible alternative, though. Thanks! My username is the same there.

@LCCPresident Jump over to threads. Single stack, Cleaner and more fun.

@JoeOdenwald Thanks for this, Joe! Loved your presentation!!!

Great (loose) quote by my friend, @LCCPresident, yesterday re campus police and public safety: “The president’s job is to keep them nourished and fed (adequate resources) and let the professionals handle it.”

Hello my music loving friends, I don't know what's going down here but I'd hate to lose touch. So, in the replies here please link to yourself wherever else you might be (bluesky, threads, mastodon, spoutible etc). I'll try to follow you there. "Where's the after hours?!"

@Mikehomeseller Love it. Still have my vinyl copy. For me, it's a toss up between Harborcoat and Don't Go Back to Rockville.

Today’s spin is one of my favorites of all time. Are you a fan? Favorite tracks from this one? #mikesquestions

@kaitlancollins @CNN Charlap nails it. He’s also an amazing performer in his own right. Caught his trio at Birdland and it was magical.

Bill Charlap, who knew and played with Tony Bennett, shares advice Bennett gave him about how being nervous wasn’t a bad thing. “To be nervous means that you do care. And, he really cared. He wanted to give the best of him to his audience & to the people he loved & cared about.”

Thoughtful and true reflections from my amazing colleague and @AspenHigherEd Cohort 2 friend Dr. Felicia Ganther. @drkastout is right: Best job ever. Loneliest job ever. Thank you for sharing Dr. G!!!

@DaveAkerlyOnAir @LCCStars @PureMichigan Sound right. I miss our very public chats. 🤪

@LCCPresident @LCCStars @PureMichigan I think I interviewed you before Day 1. From Toledo. I dunno. That was a lot of interviews ago. Might be wrong.

Hard to believe, but today is the first day of my 4th year as President of @LCCStars. My family and I are so happy to be back in the great state of @PureMichigan, and I'm the luckiest community college guy in the country to work at this amazing college. [photos: Kevin Fowler]

@CVlautzenheiser ballotpedia.org/Ohio_Qualifica…

I love the “protect Ohio’s Constitution” language by Yes advocates. It’s so rich and deceitful at same time. Voting Yes on Issue 1 would severely harm our Ohio Constitution by making it nearly impossible for any citizen group to ever check the Legislature on any issue ever again.

In 1953, 41% of Ohio voters cast a ballot to keep the word “white” in the state constitutional requirement for service in the National Guard. First, that’s DISGUSTING. Second, I hope all my Ohio friends vote NO on Issue 1. ballotpedia.org/Ohio_Qualifica…

I said what I said: "Attempts to redefine or delegitimize efforts in DEI are deeply out of alignment with the clearly stated priorities of our private sector employers." The political attack on diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education is WRONG.

@LarryHook16 @LCCStars @PureMichigan Thank you! And that's right: today is day 1 of year 4; yesterday was my 3-year anniversary. :-)

@LCCPresident @LCCStars @PureMichigan We are so glad and lucky to have you! Congrats on a great first three years!

We had an inspiring meeting with our partners at @GVSU today. At the end, I was able to share my family’s pride about one of their founding trustees, Kenneth W. Robinson, a @UAW leader who left his mark on West Michigan in a big way. He’d be so proud of GVSU, @PhillyGVPres!!!

@donofriojeff @LCCStars To paraphrase @GovWhitmer, attacks on DEI in higher education are bad for business. While there's lots to focus on in the @BusLeadersforMI report, let's not lose sight of the strong business case for DEI in higher ed. /END michiganadvance.com/2023/01/26/big….

.@donofriojeff made this point on the radio this morning while talking to @LCCStars Trustee Andrew Abood. Our state's largest employers want a qualified, diverse workforce. spreaker.com/user/5707063/m… /4

I want to amplify a point made by @donofriojeff in the @BusLeadersforMI report that is getting lots of ink today. This point isn't getting much play: EQUITY MATTERS! The business leaders in our state are calling for us to address equity. /1
