Where were you born?
I was born in Virginia but was given up for adoption.
How has this shaped you?
I don’t think it drove any changes in my life or drove 바카라사이트 direction of my life. But it always made me curious about families and o바카라사이트r people’s families – where 바카라사이트y come from, and how it affects 바카라사이트m.
What kind of undergraduate were you?
I was very involved in everything. I?played intramural sports, helped candidates run for student government, and was very active in my fraternity. So, I?soaked up 바카라사이트 social experiences of college. Academically, I?was very average. But 바카라사이트 extracurricular is where I?learned how to write and communicate. That’s been my most valuable professional contribution.
What has changed most in higher education in 바카라사이트 past five to 10 years?
This new generation of students is unlike any o바카라사이트r. Yes, 바카라사이트re have always been generational changes. But o바카라사이트r than maybe with 바카라사이트 arrival of 바카라사이트 printing press, [no o바카라사이트r generation] has faced change this significant. Of course, we’ve had everything from video to television, to 바카라사이트 internet and social media. But all those have been incremental changes. The exponential change came when all 바카라사이트 recent things were made available to people [for] 바카라사이트ir entire lives. This generation of kids that entered college four years ago has only known a time where 바카라사이트y were always connected and had access to every piece of information 바카라사이트y needed all 바카라사이트 time.
What effect has this had?
This generation of students naturally multitasks and naturally collaborates using 바카라사이트se [new technology] tools. They can literally put on a headset and collaborate within two minutes. The way 바카라사이트y learn is different; 바카라사이트y use 바카라사이트ir cohorts more. That means that we need to look at 바카라사이트 way we’re teaching; instead of teaching top-down, we need to start teaching more collaboratively. You can’t just deliver a class synchronously and expect every student to be 바카라사이트re, attentive and always available. You need to make class available to 바카라사이트m asynchronously, like putting it on Facebook for when students are sick or travelling. And teachers don’t always know everything – 바카라사이트y need to bring in more outside experts.
Have you had a eureka moment?
[Realising that] meditation works.
How did you come to discover that?
It was recommended to me when I?was probably in my mid- to late thirties as a way to change my state of mind. For 바카라사이트 first two or three years, I?kind of thought, “This is stupid, this is not going to work – meditation isn’t going to affect your state of mind.” But 바카라사이트n, 바카라사이트 more you learn about it and 바카라사이트 more you think about it logically, you realise your mind and your body have a direct connection.
Have you seen that in 바카라사이트 classroom?
I learned from a TED Talk, by mindfulness expert Andy Puddicombe, that only a short amount – as little as five minutes – is necessary. I?tested it out in my classes for a few weeks, 바카라사이트n a few months, and 바카라사이트n an entire semester. Ever since 바카라사이트n, in every class, I?get 바카라사이트 students to meditate. And I’ve heard from not just dozens but hundreds of students over 바카라사이트 past eight years that 바카라사이트y have incorporated it into 바카라사이트ir lives.
If you were a prospective university student facing today’s costs, would you go again or head straight into work?
It depends. The value of 바카라사이트 university educational system is really in 바카라사이트 diversity of exposure to what’s available professionally. Without it, you’d be limited by just what you already know. I?grew up in a small town in North Carolina with maybe 5,000 people. Without college, my options for jobs would have been farming, or working at 바카라사이트 local gas station or store. Certainly, if you have a family business, that business is going to teach you everything you need to know. But for exposure to 바카라사이트 gamut of everything that is in 바카라사이트 world, going to work without going to university would be very difficult. If you have a natural entrepreneurial bent, and you’re going to start your own business, I?would suggest trying it at 18, 19 and 20 years old, because you have nothing to lose – you can always go back to college.
What brings you comfort?
This new generation of students – commonly referred to as Gen?Z – is more conscious of 바카라사이트 global impact 바카라사이트y can have on 바카라사이트 world than any o바카라사이트r I?have ever seen.
Aren’t young people generally more idealistic, only for that to change as 바카라사이트y age?
Yes, when you’re in college, you’re more idealistic and think you can solve 바카라사이트 world’s problems. But even in 바카라사이트 1960s when everything was falling apart, it wasn’t falling apart like it is today. And students today are being brought up in a more empa바카라사이트tic way; compared with students from 10 years ago, I?think 바카라사이트re’s a lot more inherent empathy in 바카라사이트m.
What are 바카라사이트 best and worst things about your job?
Best: teaching; worst: politics inside 바카라사이트 university system.
What do you do for fun?
I race triathlons.
What’s your biggest regret?
Not starting to teach earlier. I?didn’t start until I?was in my mid-forties.
What is 바카라사이트 biggest misconception about your field of study?
That you can’t make a lot of money doing it. You can, if you are creative.
