Send us a Text Message.Rev. Dereca Blackmon is the new Senior Minister at the East Bay Church of Religious Science a Center for Spiritual Living (ebcrs.org) in Oakland, CA where she has dedicated over 25 years of service to the spiritual transformation of the entire planet. Her sermons, lectures and workshops have provided over 100,000 participants in 20 countries with opportunities to expand their consciousness around issues of inclusion, forgiveness, self-love and radical healing. She has taught the Science of Mind philosophy in a wide variety of settings ranging from teen church to Holmes Institute. She has delivered over 75 talks at spiritual centers in Oakland, Sacramento, Dallas, Detroit and many others, including serving as the Fall Opening Lecture at Stanford University's Memorial Church.Her work is rooted in a tradition of sacred activism that seamlessly blends spiritual and cultural principles that foster personal and social liberation. Whether her ministry is in juvenile hall or corporate conference rooms, she is committed to providing loving comfort to those facing oppression and “constructive discomfort” to those resting in their societal privilege. Rev. Dereca served as a lead architect in the effort to organize the Bay Area community response to the murder of Oscar Grant III. After working with the community to mobilize thousands of protestors and holding countless meetings and rallies she began to question the strategy of organizing “against” rather than “for.” She entered ministerial school at Holmes Institute, Santa Rosa campus and has never looked back, becoming one of the nation's leading speakers on Sacred activism.She served as a nonprofit executive for 20 years, developing nationally-adopted experiential curriculum and raising over $5 million dollars for Bay Area youth. She also served for six years as the Assistant Vice Provost and Executive Director of the Diversity and First-Generation Office at her alma mater, Stanford University, where she introduced groundbreaking work allowing participants to engage in deep, authentic and meaningful dialogues.She currently serves as President and Co-Founder of Inclusion Design Group (https://inclusiondesign.com/) where she has consulted with a wide variety of corporate, educational, nonprofit and community-based groups to facilitate “uncommon conversations” on issues of race, gender, class and social justice.  She and her team have supported industry leaders, including LinkedIn, Harvard University, YouTube and many others in activating their vision for diversity and inclusion in their organizations and in the world. She is the mother of four bold and beautiful daughters who she raised in the spiritual principles of New Thought and who continue to be her life's best teachers.Support the Show.Donate – CelesteFrazier.com

Dr. Christina Cestone, Assistant Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs and Development at UMB speaks with Host Scott Riley about the origin of the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning, why it was created, its long term goals  and how it fits into UMB's overall strategy. 

Change is a constant occurrence in a registrar's world, but it does seem that the amount and rate of change has increased. Responding to change and managing through it are skills that we all employ, but could all improve. In this episode, we talk to members of the registrar's office from Middle Tennessee State University about recent changes their office has faced, how those changes unfolded, and how they managed their way through them.    Key Takeaways:Initial reactions to change will vary; even if the initial reaction is negative, encourage people to move past that quickly and approach things with an open mind and a positive attitude.Communication throughout a change is critical. People aren't necessarily afraid of change, they're afraid of the unknown. Communicating through changes helps reduce those fears and increases buy-in. Focus on the positive outcomes, even in the middle of challenging situations. Not everyone will get everything they want out of changes (we all have our Barbie dreamhouse), but focusing on the positives will go a long way.  Host:Doug McKenna, University RegistrarGeorge Mason Universitycmckenn@gmu.edu Guests:Tyler Hensen, Assistant Vice Provost, Registration and Student Records & University RegistrarMiddle Tennessee State Universitytyler.hensen@mtsu.edu Cindy Johnson, Associate Registrar, Curriculum and GraduationMiddle Tennessee State Universitycindy.johnson@mtsu.edu Anne Ford, Associate Registrar for Registration, Records, and SchedulingMiddle Tennessee State Universityanne.ford@mtsu.edu  References and Additional Information:AACRAO Core Competencies - Change ManagementAACRAO Core Competencies - Leadership & ManagementAACRAO Professional Proficiencies - Records and Academic Services

Making the jump from associate to registrar, especially if it involves moving from one institution to another, can be an exciting and challenging time. In this episode we hear from two registrars about their experience with that transition: what were the highs, the lows, the pain points, and how they navigated those situations. Lots of nuggets of wisdom and pieces of practical advice abound!    Key Takeaways:Use your “new card.” Be authentic about not knowing everything right away. Asking for help and patience from people is a good way to build rapport.  Lean on your mentors and other support networks, especially state and regional organizations. Again, don't be afraid to ask for help or assistance or guidance. The AACRAO community is large and strong.  Acknowledge and support your staff!

The United States has been an empire since the time of its founding, and this empire is inextricably intertwined with American religion. Religion and US Empire: Critical New Histories (NYU Press, 2022) examines the relationship between these dynamic forces throughout the country's history and into the present. The volume will serve as the most comprehensive and definitive text on the relationship between US empire and American religion. Whereas other works describe religion as a force that aided or motivated American imperialism, this comprehensive new history reveals how imperialism shaped American religion—and how religion historically structured, enabled, challenged, and resisted US imperialism. Chapters move chronologically from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first, ranging geographically from the Caribbean, Michigan, and Liberia, to Oklahoma, Hawai'i, and the Philippines. Rather than situating these histories safely in the past, the final chapters ask readers to consider present day entanglements between capitalism, imperialism, and American religion. Religion and US Empire is an urgent work of history, offering the context behind a relationship that is, for better or worse, very much alive today. Tisa Wenger is Associate Professor of American Religious History at Yale Divinity School. She is the author of We Have a Religion: The 1920s Pueblo Indian Dance Controversy and American Religious Freedom (2009) and Religious Freedom: The Contested History of an American Ideal (2017). Sylvester A. Johnson is Professor in the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech, and Assistant Vice Provost the Center for Humanities. He is the author of African American Religions, 1500–2000: Colonialism, Democracy, and Freedom and co-editor of FBI and Religion: Faith and National Security Before and After 9/11. This episode's host, Jacob Barrett, is currently a PhD student in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Religion and Culture track.

The United States has been an empire since the time of its founding, and this empire is inextricably intertwined with American religion. Religion and US Empire: Critical New Histories (NYU Press, 2022) examines the relationship between these dynamic forces throughout the country's history and into the present. The volume will serve as the most comprehensive and definitive text on the relationship between US empire and American religion. Whereas other works describe religion as a force that aided or motivated American imperialism, this comprehensive new history reveals how imperialism shaped American religion—and how religion historically structured, enabled, challenged, and resisted US imperialism. Chapters move chronologically from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first, ranging geographically from the Caribbean, Michigan, and Liberia, to Oklahoma, Hawai'i, and the Philippines. Rather than situating these histories safely in the past, the final chapters ask readers to consider present day entanglements between capitalism, imperialism, and American religion. Religion and US Empire is an urgent work of history, offering the context behind a relationship that is, for better or worse, very much alive today. Tisa Wenger is Associate Professor of American Religious History at Yale Divinity School. She is the author of We Have a Religion: The 1920s Pueblo Indian Dance Controversy and American Religious Freedom (2009) and Religious Freedom: The Contested History of an American Ideal (2017). Sylvester A. Johnson is Professor in the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech, and Assistant Vice Provost the Center for Humanities. He is the author of African American Religions, 1500–2000: Colonialism, Democracy, and Freedom and co-editor of FBI and Religion: Faith and National Security Before and After 9/11.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast I have the first of a handful of interviews that came about in a back to the future-esque way. This spring, the Stanford National Black Alumni Association (https://www.stanfordblackalumni.org) biennale summit took place in Washington, D.C. and I organized my spring trip back to the U.S. around reconnecting with my fellow friends and alum and sharing my insights as a Glocal Citizen on a panel entitled, "Africa: Bridging the Diasporic Divide." A propos, my guest, Detroit native, Dereca Blackmon has career-wide experience bridging divides. As Co-Founder and President of the Inclusion Design Group (https://inclusiondesign.com), she is also head trainer and responsible for the creation of the dynamic set of workshops and follow-up activities used by her team. Her experiential training models cut through “diversity fatigue” and allow participants to engage in deep, authentic, and meaningful dialogues. Among her prior positions, she served as the Assistant Vice Provost, Associate Dean and Director of the Diversity and First-Generation Office at Stanford University where she introduced groundbreaking work on authentic engagement, intergroup dialogue, and unconscious bias to over 30,000 students, staff, faculty and alumni. She also taught several courses at Stanford including Intergroup Communication with renowned cultural psychologist Hazel Markus (https://web.stanford.edu/~hazelm/) Reverend Deborah L. Johnson (https://deborahljohnson.org). For over 25 years, Dereca has consulted with a wide variety of corporate, educational, nonprofit, and community-based groups to facilitate “uncommon conversations” on issues of race, gender, class, and social justice. I hope this two part conversation brings you closer to understanding and embodying your own inclusion mindset.

Historically, colleges and universities across the country have thought about graduate student recruitment as second in importance to the traditional undergraduate student population. As such, graduate enrollment management teams tend to be under-resourced when it comes to time, money, and talent. But tides could be shifting as fewer students are going to college and as schools across the country are still recovering from losing significant revenue due to the pandemic.  In this episode of The Enrollify Podcast, Zach sits down with Adam Poluzzi, the Assistant Vice Provost of Graduate Enrollment Management and Brett DiMarzo, the Director of Graduate Enrollment Management Strategy, at Boston College. The three discuss a new division Boston College has launched as a part of the Graduate Enrollment Management team to help support graduate admissions professionals with the tools, insights, and resources they need to design and implement digital student recruitment strategies. This model, perhaps the first of its kind, could be adopted by large and small schools and programs alike looking for practical and specific ways to attract, engage, enroll, and retain future graduate students.Learn more about this episode and about our sponsors in our show notes.

How do you go about following your college dreams? Assistant Vice Provost for Undergraduate Admission April Crabtree shows us how to be a dream-builder. If you want to feel inspired to follow your goals, this episode is for you. If you want encouragement to keep at it, this episode is for you. TIP: I CHOOSE CROW POSE. TALE: Reading the bios of our guests for Dream College Academy is always a treat, but this particular bio made me stop in my tracks. This decorated Fulbright scholar concluded her brief bio with this sentence: “In her newly found quarantine spare time, April has been learning Klingon on Duolingo, working on her crow pose in yoga, and running away from zombies through the running app Zombies! Run.” I couldn't remember anything else in her bio except “crow pose.” It's not that I too had been working on my crow pose, but the fact that April listed items on her bio that made her real, human, and accessible. That week at Dream College Academy, April became one of the “popular” guests. Why? For the same reason, she was accessible. Her advice to students, “Pay attention to how the admission office treats you before you arrive. That is an indication of how you'll be treated once you are a student.” So sound. So simple. So true. TRUTH: Colleges are made up of people. The administration, professors, student affairs staff, and of course, the students. Maybe it's just a “Latino” thing, but I am positive that it was equally important to my mother that she connect with someone she trusted at USC as it was for her that I be happy at my college of choice. With each podcast, the goal is to get to know the PERSON being interviewed just as much as learning about the institution they represent. In this podcast, you'll hear April talk about her current institution and why she loves it, you'll hear about her own personal journey to college, you'll hear a tale about how challenging it can be for admissions counselors to say "no", hear a tip about how to know what a potential college will treat you when you become a student there, AND hear about why April is learning Klingon, a language from Star Trek. This week, April Crabtree is a treat to watch and listen to! I can't wait for you to get to know the woman who I think of every time I attempt my crow pose. ________________________________ Learn the 5 Biggest Mistakes Teens Make and the 4 Most Common Essay Topics: https://www.drcynthiacolon.com/essay-mini-training Check out the Destination YOUniversity FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2489993244570408 See our website here: https://www.drcynthiacolon.com/ Schedule a call with Dr. C: https://www.drcynthiacolon.com/schedule ________________________________ #collegeadmissions #collegeessays #collegeapplication #financialaid #scholarships #collegeessaybootcamp #dreamcollegeacademy #drcynthiacolon #highschooljuniors #highschoolseniors

Abstract Supporting the learning needs of students in online courses is commonly perceived as challenging for instructors, as the time and effort needed to master particular concepts may vary widely. Adaptive learning, an educational method which adapts presentation of material and assessment according to students’ unique learning needs, is gaining popularity in online courses. In this session, we will provide an overview of adaptive learning approaches, describe real-life examples, consider the instructor’s role in personalizing the experience, share available support and resources, and encourage a call to action for attendees. Specifically, an instructor’s experience of integrating personalized adaptive elements into online courses using the Realizeit platform will be presented.PresentersDebbie Hahs-Vaughn, PhDProfessor Department of Educational and Human Sciences College of Education and Human Performance University of Central FloridaDebbie L.
