Thanksgiving Reflections
A Note of Thanks
Dear Subscribers,
As we gather in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for being a part of the "What's Up in the Academy?" community. With over 1,100 subscribers, your engagement and support inspire me every time I sit down to write and reflect.
This season of Thanksgiving reminds us to reflect on the people in our lives who bring us a feeling of connection, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity to share insights, stories, and discussions about higher education with such a dedicated audience. As we face potential significant challenges to our practice under the next Trump administration, including proposals to dismantle the Department of Education and attack initiatives that prioritize equity, access, and social justice.
In these uncertain times, I remain committed to this space serving as a reliable resource for our community, providing insights and analysis on these critical developments in higher education.
I hope you find moments to relax and recharge with loved ones. May your Thanksgiving be filled with joy, warmth, and gratitude. I look forward to continuing this journey together as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of higher education.
Thank you for being an essential part of this community. Happy Thanksgiving!
With gratitude,
Laura
