The 104th Annual Meeting of the Association of American Colleges and Universities FINAL PROGRAM Can Higher Education Recapture the Elusive American Dream?

The 2018 Annual Meeting will address higher education’s role in the American Dream in the face of a public narrative that argues the two have become disconnected. Featuring a broad array of plenaries, forums, and more than 125 concurrent sessions, the conference will challenge attendees from across the spectrum of higher education in addressing the most urgent and pressing issues facing our colleges and universities. The topics and themes woven throughout the Annual Meeting program will reinforce the alignment of higher education, life, work, and citizenship by highlighting evidence-based educational practices guided by clearly articulated goals for student learning—practices designed for students of all backgrounds and across all disciplines and institution types. We look forward to challenging discussions in the days ahead and working together to advance higher educa- tion’s civic mission of educating for democracy.

  • The Slan of Baker Street
    1 The Slan of Baker Street a one -shot published by Taral Wayne, September in the year Anno Domini 2012 , from his modest abode in a less -fashionable quarter of the city of Toronto, in Her Majesty’s Dominion of Canada. I may be reached by post at 245 Dunn Ave. Toronto Ontario, M6K 1S6, or contacted through the lately conceived miracle of communications known as the World Wide Web, at [email protected] For Royal Archival Purposes, this is Kiddelidivee Books & Art 256. Everyone please respectfully stand for “God Save the Queen!” Foreword: For me, the news broke on the File 770 blog. It was June 14 th and Stu Shiffman had had a stroke. Mike Glyer wrote, “ He is being treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He remains in intensive care. On Friday he was described as awake, though lethargic, and able to speak clearly. He subsequently had surgery to relieve swelling due to some bleeding in the brain. Stu’s partner Andi Shecter is there with him. Stu is a highly popular fan artist, winner of the Hugo Award and the Rotsler Award.” The original post was 75 words long, but, in my opinion, 75 pages would not have been wasted. The questions in my mind were gradually answered over the next few days, as Mike updated the story. Friends of Stu were talking on FaceBook as well. If you would like to read the story as it unfolded, the index on File 770 is at http://file770.com/?tag=stu-shiffman&paged=2 I don’t remember my first thoughts when I learned of Stu’s stroke.

  • Six Weeks Module 5
    SIX WEEKS TO SUCCESSFUL CHRISTIAN SONGWRITING with John Chisum MODULE #5 - MAKING YOUR SONGS SING! INTRODUCTION Hi, everyone, and welcome back to Six Weeks to Successful Christian Songwriting, an online coaching experience aiming to empower you to write the best songs you’ve ever written and to transform your life as you dig deeper into Jesus for your writing inspiration! This is John Chisum for Nashville Christian Songwriters. I don’t know about you, but I have enjoyed every minute of this and my hope is that you’ve come alive in your songwriting! Everything I’ve shared with you has come straight out of my heart and out of my 30+ years of writing and publishing. I’ve had such an amazing life of working with some of the best Christian artists and songwriters—I’m loving sharing those insights with you! What I hope you’ll keep in mind is that this six week’s coaching is about equipping you, giving you the tools you can use the rest of your life to write great songs. It all doesn’t come to a crashing halt when the six weeks is over and you’ve listened through each module. In fact, that’s just where it all STARTS! These modules are broken up into 20- 30-minute segments in hopes they’ll be more digestible for you and that you’ll want to come back to them again and again, or at least print out the transcripts, put them in a song notebook and review them anytime you’re feeling stuck and needing a little boost to get going again.
