1641481180292759553 | This!!!!! We also need to educate doctoral students and junior faculty on how they can develop a strategic plan for service so that it will complement/enhance teaching and research. Check out my article: DOI: 10.1080/10511253.2015.1128706 on this. @chronicle @ACJS_Summit https://t.co/UEUPghAxQT | 4 |
1641555401757032452 | @reporterdavidj @chronicle Advice: Ignore the US News top 50 and instead focus on regional publics, community colleges, and less well-known privates (but not just because they're struggling) | 3 |
