I was born and raised in Shelby, North Carolina. We had a farm in Rutherford County where my dad grew up where we had horses and black angus cows. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in criminal justice and I worked in law enforcement training at the North Carolina Department of Justice before I went to law school at North Carolina Central University. I've been a member of the North Carolina Bar since 1983, which is the same year I joined the Air Force. While in the Air Force, I earned a Master of Laws in government procurement law from the George Washington University School of Law and a Master of Laws in military law from the U.S. Army JAG School. I'm best known for having served as the Chief Prosecutor for the terrorism trials at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. After serving in that role for two years, I resigned when I was ordered to use evidence that was obtained by torture. Later, I was head of the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division at the Congressional Research Service; a law professor at the Howard University School of Law; and an administrative law judge at the U.S. Department of Labor. I've written for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and I've appeared on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News and NPR. I retired in 2019 and moved back home to western North Carolina. I was the Democratic Party nominee for the NC 11 congressional seat in 2020. My wife and I have a rescue cat named Mika and a rescue dog named Maggie. Built to lose. I've been training to lose this Senate race for all of my life. I voted for Al Gore in 2000, cheered for Carolina basketball during the Matt Doherty era, and watch the Carolina Panthers on Sundays (shudder). It's the thrill of a lifetime to give voters in District 37 the opportunity to choose their next representative. I'm going to lose, but we'll have some fun, make some noise, and raise some hell on the way down. My platform Abortion is healthcare. We must fully fund public education. We need common sense gun laws to keep our communities safe. And all of those would be achievable in our purple state if we had a representative democracy instead of this gerrymandered nonsense.

One of the least talked about goals of attending college is to leave having built meaningful relationships with a new group of folks that you can now call family; your new play-cousins. You spend years together figuring out your courses, your career goals, and more importantly, who you are as a person. In doing so, you get to take part in life changing experiences that have the potential to mold you into your most authentic self, and solidify who you want to be in the world around you. Yet, in order for this to happen, your campus has to intentionally provide space for you to experiment, explore, fail, and succeed safely with the support of your peers, teachers, and administrators. We recognize that this may look differently depending on the environment you're in, but nevertheless, we all want the vibe of having felt included, encouraged, and inspired. This episode, we'll hear directly from Stillman College junior, Hanna Fields, about what she needs from her institution in order to perceive her campus culture as equitable and inclusive, and senior administrators, Darryl Ann Lai Fang and Chanel L. Fort, on what we can be doing to instill this sense of family and protect our most vulnerable. Let's meet our guests: Hannah Fields - She's a 21-year-old Junior at Stillman College. She recently became a Journalism and English major. So far in her college career, she has been a part of the English Honors Society-Sigma Tau Delta, Harte Honors, and many other academic opportunities/organizations. Outside of school, Hannah reads, writes, and spends time with her friends and family (over the phone). Facebook: Hannah Fields Chanel L. Fort - With 21 years of experience, Fort has made a career in designing, implementing, and evaluating sustainable learning and development, workforce education, and change management programs for private, non-profit, government, and higher education entities.

In support of National Rural Health Day 2021, the CSRHA has curated together four insightful episodes from the This Is Rural Health podcast. WHAT IS NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH DAY? Since 2011, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health, the 50 State Offices of Rural Health, and rural health stakeholders from across the country have set aside the third Thursday of November to celebrate National Rural Health Day (NRHD). This day promotes the “Power of Rural,” which brings much-needed attention to the ongoing efforts to communicate, educate, collaborate, and innovate to improve the health of an estimated 57 million rural Americans. Over the years, NRHD has transformed from a daylong event to a sustainable movement. To learn more visit: https://www.powerofrural.org/ (powerofrural.org) To learn more about the CSRHA you can visit our website at https://www.csrha.org (csrha.org) Thank you and enjoy this special series celebrating National Rural Health Day on November 18, 2021. --- Today, we are joined by a panel from Western University of Health Sciences, one of the largest medical schools in the US. Facilitating the discussion is CSRHA board member and treasurer Jeff Dunbar. Jeff is the CEO of OffSite Care (OSC), a multispecialty telemedicine company. In this episode, the panel explores the topic of training the physicians of the future and how telemedicine can be an effective tool to prepare them for rural patient care. You'll hear from Di Lacy, Assistant Vice President, Oregon Campus. “We really did prove for a year that many different sectors can work off-site. Those folks are looking at rural locations [to live]. I think healthcare has got to pay attention to that and we've got to be able to have physicians that really understand how that demographic is changing.” Gregory Pecchia, Senior Director, Academic Innovation and Telehealth, provides a look at some of the challenges that practitioners face with telehealth. “Prior to the pandemic, the literature anecdotally documented the effectiveness of appropriately used virtual care to bridge the quality chasm inherent in many rural health care settings. The pandemic, of course, accelerated the use of such tools sometimes successfully and sometimes not as successfully as one might have otherwise hoped.” Dr. Katsaros, Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine shares an insider's view on how students are adapting to telehealth training. “It's really fun to see as an educator. To see the excitement in a student and to know that really this is something that's going to contribute to his educational experience in the future and contribute to the way he practices in the future.” Dr. Sanchez, Assistant Dean for the Office of Academic Affairs shares the evolving approach to curriculum development. “The walls of the traditional doctor's offices are now dissolved. And there is no distance between the doctor and the patient with a virtual visit. Now that it's becoming a standard and widely adopted, that's a skill set that the doctors need to have moving forward.” Rounding out the panel discussion is Dr. Loveless, Chief Medical Officer at WesternU Health. He highlights for us how today's student physicians are well-positioned to step into telehealth environments such as asynchronous medicine and the value this brings to rural health. “I think a big element that is also going to be beneficial in the rural setting is the notion of asynchronous telemedicine. The real challenge, I think, is less around teaching our students and our patients how to do it. It's around figuring out how we're going to get paid for those kinds of interactions.” --- The CSRHA has been a go-to resource for rural healthcare and community leaders since 1995. The CSRHA brings an accumulation of actionable insights to the next generation of rural healthcare leaders. For more information visit our website at csrha.org For more behind the scenes of this...
In conversation with RevDem editor Ferenc Laczó, Emily Levine (Stanford University) discusses key ideas in her new book Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University. Allies and Rivals is a transatlantic monograph that draws on extensive historical research and applies sociological theory to study how the academic social contract was repeatedly renegotiated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The conversation addresses the rise of modern research universities and its alternatives, questions of meritocracy and democracy, academic freedom and hard compromises, the global exchange of ideas and academic innovation in the twenty-first century.

Learning loss is a common and traditional term, but how can learning be lost if it were never found? That is the situation with remote learning during the pandemic. Teachers worked hard and students work hard, but some standards may not have yet been met, hence the term from the DOE, unfinished learning. Many schools are leveraging summer school as a solution to address this issue, but what are other solutions that schools are implementing? In our podcast, we talk to Jeff McCoy and Darcy Krause about the plans their districts are making to close learning gaps. Jeff and Darcy discuss specific ideas and the action steps their districts are taking to close learning gaps. Jeff McCoy is the Associate Superintendent of Academics for Greenville County Schools.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 15, 2021) – Last March, as the country began to come to grips with a global pandemic, University of Kentucky officials made the decision to move all classes to online formats. Thousands of classes and courses sections were moved – in two weeks. In the last year, significant investments have been made in technology to help facilitate a combination of different formats for learning and classes – online and remote, in-person, hybrid and other teaching methods such as synchronous and asynchronous learning. In some ways, the pandemic has hastened a conversation around the different ways – and the best ways – students learn, particularly since our students have grown up with sophisticated technology at their fingertips. To discuss trends in both technology and teaching, Behind the Blue talked with experts on campus, who are exploring what’s new in these fields as well as what works best for students and faculty when it comes to learning. Kathi Kern is a professor of history, the director of the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching and Associate Provost of Teaching, Learning and Academic Innovation at UK. Emily Croteau is a lecturer in biology at UK, who is interested in learning about best methods and practices in teaching biology, which includes using real-life examples to demonstrate how relatable biological concepts are to our lives. Matthew Wilson is an associate professor of geography and a visiting scholar at Harvard, who co-founded and co-directs the New Mappings Collaboratory, which studies and facilitates new engagements with geographic representation.

Evolving Through Travel Molly is a world traveller with a gift for storytelling, which allows her to bring years of travel experiences to life in a whole new way. She has a background in journalism, health IT, educational design, behavioral science, and user research. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Molly in her previous position within the Center for Academic Innovation at the University of Michigan, and by way of this work, I’ve really come to know who she is and what she stands for. What really strikes me about Molly is her facility to meet the moment. Whether in a professional setting, or an uncomfortable travel scenario, she’s a true master of communication and connection. She maintains a strong sense of humility coupled with a unique brand of awareness. In this conversation we talk about travel, diving deep into the minutiae of what drives Molly to explore. We also talk about behavioral science and motivational interviewing, two of my favorite topics, in which Molly puts a distinctive spin on as she connects these practices to an array of experiences traveling across contexts. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I’m positive that you will too.

When Duo Security sold to Cisco for $2.35 billion it was basically like the moon landing for the Ann Arbor startup community. Most of us had nothing to do with it, but we all remember where we were when we heard about it and still feel extremely felt proud of and connected to their success. Everybody does. It's not just the money though, it's how they did it. Everybody employee had equity. They stayed in Ann Arbor when it must have been tempting to move to the Valley. They always stayed present and accessible. It reminds me of the Pistons winning championships with hard work and toughness. For some reason it's extra satisfying when the values of the team reflect the values of the community. And that's really what this episode is about. Dug Song is going to explain how Duo didn't succeed in spite of their midwest values and ties to the community - they succeeded because of those things. You should know about two things Dug started that you can get involved in: The first is the Ann Arbor Entrepreneurs Fund (A2EF). A2EF is essentially a club for startup founders. Here's what it is and why Dug and his wife invested a million dollars to get it off the ground.The second is a monthly meetup called A2 New Tech, which is basically the friendly front door for the Ann Arbor startup community. I get value from it every single time I go. This is the last episode of Finding Your Venture for 2020. The podcast is funded by the University of Michigan Center for Academic Innovation for two more years so we'll be back next spring with more lessons and stories. The podcast is designed like a Wikipedia page. You can scan the episode titles and get the gist of the message, and if you see something interesting you can click and go deeper. This year we made an effort to feature a more diverse set of storytellers and we'll continue to do better in the years ahead. I learn so much from the diverse and interesting students in our course and building those relationships is far and away the #1 reason we teach. Teaching and creating has been an antidote to the gusher of bad news and fear spewing from my phone. People are good. You'll never regret investing time and resources into relationships with the people around you. Thanks for spending this time listening to the stories I love.

To curb the spread of the coronavirus, universities have dispersed their students and are counting on teaching over the internet to keep students learning. The University System of Maryland, comprising a dozen public universities, had started down that road, but this is a big acceleration. How will it work? How will hundreds of professors who have not taught online before learn how to convey their knowledge and keep students engaged? What about students who don’t have their own computers? Or a strong wi-fi connection? The system’s Associate Vice Chancellor, MJ Bishop, directs the Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation. She says what’s taking place now is remote teaching, not a full-fledged online university.

This special podcast series on emergent scholarship is designed to inform, advise and inspire higher education constituencies in their approach to and actions involving the production and dissemination of scholarship, with a keen eye on what we have defined as emergent scholarship, or scholarship of historic rigor but not historically considered or valued by governing bodies. These podcasts are entry points into the conversation; you can start with the first one or engage based on topic or guest, and can access as few or as many as you desire. The hope is to develop a foundational understanding of the topic, its current trajectory, and manners in which progress in supporting emergent scholarship can unfold. ABOUT THE HOST Dr. Rolin Moe is an Assistant Professor and the Director of Academic Innovation at Seattle Pacific University. His research sits at the confluence of technological engagement, educational methodology and sociocultural values. As a practitioner, his work seeks to not only inform and develop but to model practice through high-quality interaction. More on Rolin can be found at rolinmoe.org

There is a focused movement to reinvent traditional learning spaces and rearrange the entire educational experience — a trend that is largely being driven by the influence of innovative learning approaches. Century-old practices in which students learn subject-by-subject, while uniformly facing the front of the classroom, are perceived by many as an antiquated approach to teaching and learning. The multidisciplinary nature of project-based learning, co-creation, and other contemporary approaches has brought attention to innovative designs of learning environments. Panel Moderator: Holly Ludgate, Senior Director of Program Development, NMC Panelists: Stephanie Barbuto, Social Studies Teacher at String Theory High Schoool Lambert Heller, Head of the Open Science Lab at TIB Hannover, Germany Rudolf Mumenthaler, Professor of library science at the University of Applied Sciences (HTW) Chur in Switzerland Seema Rao, Director of Intergenerational Learning, Cleveland Museum of Art Lisa Stephens, Senior Strategist, Academic Innovation at SUNY Annie Tuttle, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Sociology - SUNY - Onondaga Community College About the NMC On the Horizon Series The "NMC On the Horizon" series reflects the research and work of the NMC Horizon Project in action.

Helen Rodger in Academic Innovation at Sheffield Hallam has been leading the Backpack pilot for the last 9 months. Andrew Middleton speaks to Helen to find out about Backpack, the add-on tool for the Blackboard learning environment. They discuss the pilot and some of the tentative findings that are emerging at the end of the academic year. More information about Backpack can be found on the Agilix website at: http://www.agilix.com/backpack.aspx which says, "Improving student and instructor access to Blackboard resources. Backpack provides offline access to Blackboard course documents, assignments, announcements, grades and more." Blackboard inc describes Backpack as 'Blackboard to go' in its own introduction to the tool: http://www.blackboard.com/extend/backpack.htm Check the Show Notes at http://ltapodcast.blogspot.com
The Closer! pilot is a new educational podcasting initiative being run at Sheffield Hallam. It will run in the 2007-08 academic year and will evaluate the Podcast LX Building Block in Blackboard. The pilot will be supported by Academic Innovation in the Learning and Teaching Institute and e-Learning support teams in the faculties. Podcasting, audio and video are relatively new media and Academic Innovation are particularly interested in working with people who are interested in taking the opportunity to introduce innovation into their own practice. The pilot seeks to encourage ideas that introduce either new voices or new ways of sharing voices in the learning environment. The pilot is called Closer! because one important area for innovation is how the learning community can be brought closer together through the use of audio. Here are the 10 points I propose in the recording that will help podcast designers to create a good educational experience with podcasting: 1. Relevance is clear to the students 2. Recording quality is adequate and represents the significance of the podcast to the course 3. Embedded amongst, and integrated with, other course material appropriately 4. It informs or leads to other learning activity 5. Engaging format appropriate to the audio medium 6. It does not create a burden on the students (time, access, technology) 7. It does not create a burden on the academic (production time, technology) 8. Academically rigorous (ethically and legally appropriate, participants consent, basis of claims to knowledge are clear) 9. It does not exclude some students 10. It connects to related information through its 'show notes' .
