    #CovidCampus: Doing the Best We Can To “Go Remote” in Higher Ed This @BreakDrink we bring you a special podcast in light of the evolving situation and events due to the Coronavirus. On this episode, we have a digital round table on transition to remote teaching, learning, students support, and work in higher education with podcast hosts @Profpatrice, @ Katie__Linder, @jeffjacksonTX, @bonni208, & @laurapasquini. We decided to come together for a purpose to reflect and share about the state of things we are doing, thinking about, and planning for as college and university institutions shutdown across the US. We talk about a range of plans, support, and strategies to be implemented and how we are “doing the best we can” as COVID-19 impacts our campus communities. Advice to take care of yourself, family & work team:Take a walk or go for a runGet outside for fresh airKeep a full-nights’ sleep & restMeditation: Apps to try?

  • Episode #36: Getting Outside: Figuratively & Literally -- Careers Beyond Higher Ed
    2020/02/17

    On @BreakDrink episode no. 36, Jeff grills Laura about her new job and what it means to not be working in higher ed any more -- or the differences between interviewing and finding jobs outside the ivory tower. In other updates, Laura is American (officially), Jeff’s smart speakers don’t recognize his voice, Laura lives in WA state, Jeff’s been visiting all the TX state parks to fish, and we still love podcasts (of course) ... and recommend a few. We chat a bit about the differences between job search and acclimation from higher ed to industry, and then some. Take a listen as we meander about our own life, career goals, and dream places we’d like to live in the future. How’s 2020 going for y’all? What transitions or life changes are going through in the past few months? How’s it going?
