Greg was an Eagle Scout (an elite paramilitary organization), his father was a West Point graduate, and he grew up around the military. Greg knew he was going to the Army. West Point was a path to serve. West Point felt chaotic and Greg struggled to find his rhythm at first, but he leaned into computers, math, and physics as means to create order and mountaineering as a way to gain perspective. Greg loves the outdoors and his experiences at West Point and CTLT drew him towards Infantry. Greg's first duty station was Joint Base Lewis McChord and he was a part of the early Stryker Brigades. Greg would deploy overseas as an infantry officer in Iraq before completing Special Forces selection and deploying to Afghanistan. This is is the first half of his story. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joe-harrison0/support

Brett was accepted into West Point and Annapolis, but a poor decision almost derailed his career before it could begin. While at West Point and in the Military Brett was selected for and participated in activities and programs that stretched the limits of his capabilities and his influence. Whether participating in a pilot CTLT program with a Ranger Battalion, leading Avaition units, or expanding the reach and influence of his organization as an ORSA Brett gravitated towards difficult tasks. That didn't end upon retirement. Brett founded an online application for Online Betting and Fantasy Sports. This is his story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joe-harrison0/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/joe-harrison0/support

Connections can make all the difference when it comes to student success. Evidence shows that authentic learning, and authentic assessment of learning, can be achieved more successfully when there's a rapport between teacher and learner, between learners, and between learners and what they need to learn. But how do you pull that off? In January, hundreds of instructors, support staff, and graduate students will come together (both physically and virtually) to search for answers. In this episode, CTLT director Dr. Jennifer Friberg and faculty developer Dr. Dana Karraker join Jim to discuss the upcoming 2022 University-Wide Teaching & Learning Symposium. The theme-- Listen, Encourage, Inspire, Challenge: Building a Relationship-Rich Campus. Learn about the unique perspectives represented by this year's two keynote presenters and how this year's event will blend the best of both online and face-to-face modalities.

What does it take to create a truly powerful online learning experience for our students?
