<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Claudine Richardson and I am serving as the Policy Associate for the Student Success Center. I hope you are well and nurtured in body, mind, spirit, and emotions. I thought it would be a great idea for us to share what research,
events, books, and articles are inspiring us at the moment. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am feeling re-energized and inspired by mentors and mentees this month. Like many, I was so focused on supporting students in the midst of multiple pandemics, I never lifted my head to celebrate the wins. It took mentors and mentees,
like you, to remind me of the wins. It was a teachable moment of sharing and innovating.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our conversation reminded me that we are all teachers and “<i>Reinventing Our Roles as Teachers: Reimagining what it means to be a college educator post-COVID-19,</i>” by Steven
<span class="spelle">Mintz</span> further served as a nudge. The quick read is accessible at:
