Excited to be participating in this forum that is focused on preparing for online and hybrid instruction in the Fall.
We are sponsoring a live virtual forum with The Chronicle of Higher Education on Tuesday, August 11 at 2:00 PM ET. The event will focus on how universities are equipping their faculty for remote, hybrid and in-person learning for the fall and beyond. bit.ly/2DJtxeJ

Can the lasting images of Brazil's World Cup be something besides crying fans? All teams have crying fans. Why are we fixated on Brazil's?

I'm now 0-4 on Pritzker Pavilion concerts. Two weeks. Four rain-outs. I'll try again whenever the outdoor plants need water.
It's advance or elimination day for the #USMNT at the #WorldCup I will continue to work, but the tone of my emails might get more dramatic.
So 23 percent of teens use Google+ daily!? 37 percent use Pandora daily!? I'm feeling old. theatlantic.com/technology/a…
