The transformation continues...

This highlights for me how important it is to have a challenge and good competition.

I grew up 45 minutes from this campus. Most of my teachers were educated there, when it was East Texas State University. I celebrate this name change. It makes sense in so many ways: 1. it pays homage to its roots as ETSU. Should rekindle connections with some alums. 2. the naming convention is consistent with one of its sister schools, West Texas A&M University. 3. the university is increasing its footprint in the DFW market. This name makes more sense for that expansion than pairing the Commerce name with Dallas. 4. as they have gone up a tier in athletics, this name seems more appropriate 5. East Texas A&M sounds regional, whereas Commerce gives it a local (and thus limited) perception I applaud this move and wish nothing but the best for them.

Kevin Eltife, chairman of The University of Texas System Board of Regents, spoke about how his mother's two main life lessons — help others and pursue an education — have guided his public service efforts for decades. "The most important thing I can do and have done in my public service the last 30 years is to do everything I can to make higher education affordable and accessible to every part of this state."

I had a great time facilitating a workshop entitled, "Practical Metacognitive Strategies for the College Classroom" at the 2024 Teaching, Learning, & Technology Conference (TLTCon 24). Many thanks to attendees for the great thoughts you shared throughout the session! 😊 #TLTCon24 #Metacognition #HigherEd #FacDev #EdDev

💭 Here are a few of the most powerful thoughts I’m reflecting on from Dayton Moore’s session: Make an advanced decision. A decision in the moment is a reaction. Take no credit for the wins but all of the responsibility for the mistakes. If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not being aggressive enough. Give people more than they expect. Don’t buy into fear and don’t let perfection paralyze you. Model the behavior you want to see. Be real with your team. You never grow out of the need to practice the fundamentals and build the muscle. You won’t be perfect, but we serve a perfect God who modeled perfect leadership in Christ. 💪

The Role of Eton's Legacy in Resolving Royal Feuds At Eton College, where the ethos of brotherhood and lifelong bonds are instilled from the very beginning, the ongoing feud between two royal alumni starkly contrasts with the values taught within these historic walls. Eton has always been more than a school; it is a cradle of leadership and camaraderie, preparing its students to uphold a legacy of unity and mutual respect, traits expected of its distinguished graduates. The reason generations of families have entrusted Eton with the education of their sons is not solely for academic rigor but for the deeper lessons in integrity and unity. The school's foundational principles, encapsulated in the "old school tie," emphasize solidarity and discretion, urging its community to support each other unconditionally and to live up to the examples set by the great men who came before them. As two of Eton’s most notable alumni find themselves at odds, it is crucial to remember the speeches and teachings that marked their formative years. These teachings encourage resolution and understanding, not conflict. It falls upon their fellow Etonians, who share the same formative education and values, to remind them of their common ground and shared responsibilities. In times of discord, the true strength of the Etonian bond must come to the forefront. The community is uniquely positioned to mediate, guided by the very principles imparted to them at school. For if there is any group that can bridge this divide, it is those who were schooled in the same traditions and are bound by the same lifelong codes. The spirit of Eton calls for unity and reconciliation. It is imperative for all involved to reflect on the heritage that shaped them and to act in a manner that upholds the honor and history of their esteemed alma mater. History is indeed watching, and it is through these moments of trial that the true values of Eton can shine through. #EtonCollege #RoyalReconciliation #OldSchoolTie #EtonianValues #Unity #Heritage #Leadership
