The most enduring marker of success isn't wealth, fame, or power. It’s what we create and contribute to others. In the short run, status symbols capture attention. In the long run, achievement is judged by impact. The highest accomplishment is improving the lives of others.

Just heard from my parents! They’re ok. Marshall is destroyed. Heartbroken that a place I love so dearly will never be the same. Please consider making a donation to the Red Cross of NC - text Helene to 90999. 📸: Logan Clark

Hearts full of gratitude for what North Carolina brought us these past four years. Woke up to a Michigan sunrise, and feeling optimistic about this next chapter of life.

I played my last NC USTA league match ahead of our move to Michigan. Over these past 2 years, I’ve played 79 USTA matches, 30+ off season matches, &countless meet ups. Needless to say, tennis was a wonderful outlet during Kristen’s busy residency years. Can’t recommend it enough!

In awe of the bench of phenomenal executive coaches we have at Credo!

Truly an honor to join the @APLU_News Council on Student Affairs Summer Forum today to share practical implications of my fellowship research with @ucfreespeech. I asked attendees to write down “what sticks,” and I’m floored by the responses. Lots of good work to be done!

Enjoyed being part of this project! Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this volume.

Today Kristen delivers her Grand Rounds: “OB-GYN Care for the Incarcerated Patient: Be Informed, Not Judgmental.” I got an advanced screening last night, and y’all, @ladoctorack is READY to share a powerful, data-informed, justice-minded presentation. #healthcarenothandcuffs

“Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” 2020 ➡️ 2024 For 4 years, @LaDoctoraCK navigated a grueling graduate medical training program, clocking 80+ hours a week, and still finding opportunities to use her voice for justice. 27 days to go! #ImWithKCK

Commencement season is upon us! We're proud to work with incredible leaders across higher education so more students can experience the accomplishment that commencement represents. Some of our Credo teammates dusted off their personal archives - recognize any of these Credoites?

Dr. Jackson makes yet another important contribution!

@mgibson5879 It is!!! Had it tonight and it hit the spot. I love sweet potatoes. A lot of work to peel and cut them, but delicious.
