Thursday night- Pre-Recorded: The Outer Realm welcomes special guests Philip Mantle and Irena Scott. Discussion : Their New Book : BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT – The Pascagoula Alien Abduction This Segment is dedicated to Calvin Parker who passed away August 24th, 202 The date was October 11th, 1973; the location was the Pascagoula River, Mississippi. Two shipyard workers Charles Hickson (age 42) and Calvin Parker (age 18) decided to go fishing on the river after work. Both anglers were not having much luck that night and they thought about calling it a night when something happened that would change their lives forever. A dazzling blue light from behind them illuminated the entire scene. Turning round both men watched in awe as a rugby ball-shaped object descended. A door opened and three bizarre looking humanoid entities glided out across to the two terrified onlookers. Both Parker & Hickson later that night made their way to their local Sheriff's Department to tell them that they had been abducted by aliens. It wasn't long before the story found its way into the media and the story went around the world. Charles Hickson readily told his story, but Calvin Parker wanted simply to be left alone. Hickson co-authored a book with William Mendez in 1983 and it wasn't until 2018 that Calvin Parker finally told his story in full for the first time. It was Calvin Parker's book and subsequent publicity that made this case probably the best documented such event on record. It wasn't necessarily what Calvin Parker related in his two books, but it is what happened when they were published. Much to everyone's surprise, more and more first-hand eyewitnesses began to step forward. A number of these witnesses reported seeing something a few days prior to the Parker/Hickson encounter and others a few days after. One last thing that has left the authors completely baffled is what could be ‘proof' of a physical contact with something by Parker and Hickson that night. Both men reported that when the bizarre looking humanoids took hold of them, they felt a kind of ‘scratch' on ‘prick' similar to an injection. The authors have uncovered a document written on October 13th, 1973, just two days after the encounter, which describes a physical examination of the two men and that ‘puncture wounds' were located on Charles Hickson's arm and Calvin Parker's foot. The document, located in 2018, also mentioned that photographs of these marks were taken. In the file sadly there was no sign of these photographs. In 2021 when this book was being written the authors received an email from a colleague that mentioned he had accidentally found a couple of photos that he thought we would be interested in. The photographs in question were those mentioned in the ‘puncture wounds' document obtained 3 years earlier and show marks on Charles's Hickson's arm and Calvin Parker's foot. These photos will be published here for the first time ever. This book concentrates on the independent eyewitness testimony, the puncture wounds evidence, the hypnosis sessions of the new witnesses and of Calvin Parker both of which were conducted exclusively for this book and it is left for the reader to draw their own conclusion. The book is fully illustrated with photographs, documents, newspaper cuttings and exclusive artwork by UK artist Jason Gleaves and has a foreword by Calvin Parker. We believe that the evidence provided in this book if it was taken to court could prove BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that something truly extraordinary took place that October night in 1973 in the Pascagoula area. 2023 will be the 50th anniversary of this encounter and we have provided all of the evidence we have. All we ask is for you to take an objective look at this evidence and see if you agree with us or not. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Philip Mantle is a long-standing UFO researcher and author from the UK.

In this episode we will be talking about:Kirk Franklin's documentary... Father's Day-possible trigger warning!Topics will include: faith, fatherhood, abandonment, healing, and redemptionOur guest today is Athena Monet. Athena Monet is an author, gifted intuitive healer, and spiritual guide. Born into a lineage of remarkable women, Athena inherited the extraordinary gifts of clairvoyance and clairsentience from her family. Fueled by a deep curiosity and thirst for knowledge, Athena immersed herself in the realms of art, interior architecture, and diverse spiritual disciplines during her studies at the Ohio State University. She explored the realms of yoga, astrology, philosophy, Buddhism, and anthropology, almost completing a minor in Anthropology—a path that would shape her understanding of human experiences and cultures.After spending a decade working at prominent commercial architecture firms in Washington, D.C., Athena felt a calling to break free from the corporate world. Following her heart's desire, she ventured to a tranquil coastal town, seeking solace and a new beginning. It was in this unfamiliar place, surrounded by strangers, that tragedy struck on Christmas Day—she experienced the devastating loss of her beloved mother. Overwhelmed by grief and loneliness, Athena's pain manifested into mysterious illnesses and chronic gastrointestinal distress, leaving her searching for answers and relief when conventional Western medicine failed her. In a fateful turn of events, a friend recommended that Athena seek the guidance of the local Medicine Woman. Little did she know that this encounter would bring about miraculous healing and transform her life forever. The profound experience with her shaman marked a turning point, granting Athena permission to embrace her true self fully and to courageously share the ancestral gifts that had coursed through her bloodline for generations. Athena continues to walk her sacred path, guided by the ancestral wisdom that flows through her being.Find her on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube and her website:Seaside Shaman

Dr. Jill Creighton [00:01:15]: How's it going for our listeners? Clarissa and I met, I think, two annual conferences ago, maybe two or three annual conferences ago now when we were doing some sort of I think it was a scavenger hunt for discord. Does that sound right? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:01:27]: Yeah, it was like a discord group. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:01:29]: And I ended up finding you in person at the Apikc Social. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:01:33]: Yes. Now I'm starting to remember. Yeah, that tracks. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:01:35]: We're glad to have you today to talk about your transitions in higher education. We always like to kick off our episodes by asking our guests how they got to their current seat. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:01:44]: That is such a good question. I've been really reflecting on this because this academic year is my fifth year as a professional, and I also currently work at my alma mater. So it's been exactly ten years since I first attended my current institution that I work at. How did I get there? I think I first came in as a transfer student. Didn't really like, there wasn't much for transfer students to get involved, and I kind of put myself out there because all my friends were out there, and then people took notice and were like, hey, you're good at this. You should do this field of student affairs. And they always told me, if you're going to go do this, you have to go away before you come back. And so I went to grad school across the country before coming back to my home state of California, worked at a couple institutions. Before I came into my current position, I've been in an interim role, and then I came back as a coordinator, and then just this past May, actually, last week was three months into my new role as an assistant director. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:49]: Congratulations. That's a major, major thing to especially get that interim title taken off it's. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:02:54]: Been surreal to kind of been in two interim roles before coming back and being able to permanently be an employee. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:03:00]: That interim space is one of the reasons I'm really excited to talk to you about your transitions on the show for this season. I think that interim space for people who have never been in it is a little bit nebulous. And so I'm wondering if you can talk about why you decided to take an interim position, as well as what it's like to transition into a space that, you know, is a bit ephemeral. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:03:21]: Yeah. So I had actually done my first interim appointment in 2017, and it was the first it was kind of my first paraprofessional job at the time. They had offered it to me as a way to prepare me before I went off to graduate school, and that is exactly what it did for me. And I finished my grad program, came back to my home state, worked at other institutions, and in 2021, I was actually terminated from my first position as a professional. And it was tough because it was like, at the peak of COVID and I wasn't sure if I was going to come back into student affairs. And so I took a job working as a sales associate at Orange Theory Fitness, where I would sell memberships and help set up the equipment for the coaches and whatnot. And another position at my current institution had opened up. A search had failed, so they had to move people around, and there was an opening, and they reached out to me because they knew, of course, it got terminated. She's searching, she's grinding it out. And they reached out to me and had offered me an interim appointment. And I work at one of the California state universities, so I work at one of the 23 campuses. When you're appointed an interim role, it's anywhere between four to six months. And I had just started at Orange Theory. I think I was like one or two weeks in when they called and were like, hey, we want you to come work for us. And I had actually interviewed for a job there and didn't get moved on as a final candidate. So for me, I had some animosity, but I was like, I have nothing to lose at this point. I needed the insurance, I needed the benefits, and it was a place that I was so familiar with, and I felt safe enough to kind of rebuild my confidence as a professional. And so I took the job, and I was also applying to other institutions for a permanent role. And so once I had landed a permanent role at another institution, I ended my interim appointment, and I worked at this other school for six months. And once they opened up the role for my first permanent position at the institution I'm at, I jumped at the opportunity to apply. So I was with institution B for six months. And then I moved back to Institution A, which is the institution I'm at now. And I was also told, hey, you've applied for this job you've interviewed. You deserve to be here. And I had done the work before and that was kind of like that common, like, we want you and I want you. So to be in that interim space is really scary because it's like for me, I felt like I was on a time crunch to apply, apply. But also I think for me it was a scary time, right. Because it's like you're not guaranteed permanency. You're not guaranteed the idea of, oh, that safety net of having a permanent job. And so being in that unknown professionally is just really scary. When your livelihood is on the line. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:06:10]: You said something really important and very real for American student affairs professionals, which is when you don't have a job, you may not have health insurance. And that puts an interesting crunch on a job search that doesn't exist for professionals in many, many other parts of the world. So I think that puts a lot of pressure on these types of transitions, more so than you might see other places. So I actually want to back up a little bit to the moment where you started to figure out how are you going to get on your feet after that first job came to an end and you ended up in a sales associate position. So just not necessarily aligned with your training and your master's degree and things like that. So how did you make the determination that sales was the place that you wanted to get on your feet? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:06:51]: Yeah, so I was let go in early May and I used all of June. I wasn't going to apply. I was just going to really sit and process and also going back to the whole thing about health and the benefits. I was told your benefits were going to end like that end of the month in May. So I took advantage and booked all my appointments to make sure that I was going to use it until I was covered that whole like two or three months. When I didn't have healthcare benefits or insurance, I knew I could go into sales. And I chose Orange Theory specifically because I was a member of the studio. And so I kind of had always had so much respect for the people that worked at the front desk. I've had a lot of respect for some of the coaches. Some of the coaches were actually student affairs professionals. Like this was their side hustle. And I'd always joked around like, hey, I want to be a coach one day. Maybe this will be my side hustle. I'm currently in a doctoral program, so this Orange Theory side hustle for me is after the doctorate. But I knew I wanted to go into Sales because I knew the money was kind of there. I knew we were going to be paid on commission and it was biweekly, so I knew I would have some sort of security, like financial security and financial stability coming through until I could get fully on my feet and figure out everything else. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:08:11]: So then you decided, okay, I'm going to head back into the land of higher education. Thought process did you go that? Yes, you were going to make that decision? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:08:21]: I wasn't sure if I was going to go back into higher ed. I just want to give a shout out to everyone in Apikc that who knew what was going on to me at the time. They were sending me job postings. They knew I was location bound. They were helping me with my resume, all the interview prep. As much as I thought my heart wasn't in it anymore, other people could see that I was really meant to be in the profession and I'm really meant to be in the field. And I think if I didn't have that community and that network, I for sure would have been out of the field by now. So I think it's so important when you're going through transitions, whether it's personal or professional, to really have that network and have that community of people that just hold you accountable. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:09:04]: And so when you're thinking about the things that mentorship did for you and your support in this process, what are some of the best pieces of advice you got from mentors? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:09:13]: The best piece of advice that I had got from a mentor was that and I learned this the hard way, it was that my first job was not going to be my dream job. And I think I had had these rose colored glasses in the time that I was in that first position where I was like, oh my God, I'm actually a student affairs professional. It's all great and whatnot, and when that plug gets pulled, suddenly it's a wake up call. And I realized once someone pointed it out to me was I had seen it as a dream job, but that wasn't the case based on how I was being treated, but also just how much I was putting in and not really seeing the payoff there. I think one of my favorite pieces of advice was that all of this happening to me was just building character in the end. It's not the end for me, but I think had I gone through this later on in my life, I probably would have left the field and not looked back. And I think to be able to go through this so early in my professional career, like first job, I think it's built that grit and resiliency that they don't really teach you in grad programs. And that's also the first time where I really learned what Fit meant and how important and how it's okay to really put into perspective what is important to you, like what are your values and whatnot? Because I felt like I lost so much of my values and what mattered to me in that first position, just trying to fit in and trying to be the perfect employee that in the end it didn't work out and who ultimately lost it was me. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:10:45]: And I always like to be careful about the word fit because how it can be weaponized to marginalize people. But what I'm hearing you say is there was a values misalignment between what you were hoping to do and what the institution maybe was looking for. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:10:59]: Yes, that was something hard to sit with. And I think one of the earliest red flags for me was watching the other color of people leave on my team. They all had left within the first 88 days of me starting in this role. And it's so easy to count because we were on a 90 day probation when you first get hired. And so every month since I had started in that role, someone had always left and it was always someone who was of color. And so when you're the only person of color and a predominantly white team working at a very marginalized serving institution, I felt like I had the worries of my students on my backs and trying to carry that and bring it to the table and advocate for them was tough. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:11:45]: Then we are really talking about fit in that kind of coded, pushing out marginalized populations kind of way. And I think that's something that we need to remain conscious of in student affairs and really in all professions on how that can be used as a weaponized tool to further marginalize those who already struggle systemically to be included. So you've then decided that, yes, you are going to employ that grit for yourself and you're going to try again, you're going to reenter the field. You did this interim role, you took a second position after that. So how did you take that grit that you've self described as well as the things that you process to say yes to coming back into student affairs? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:12:28]: That was such a good question. I think after processing everything and the grit and that resilience, I think it's knowing that this is my own experience and no one has the same experience as me and the same thought process and being able to take that and bring it with me wherever I go. I used to be so ashamed to talk about what had happened to me and now I'm not afraid to speak up about it and talk about it and lead into how it's made me into a better professional now. It's helped me better understand every different things and different issues students go through. I feel like I came back with a thicker skin, which I think is so important to have in this field. And I think now coming back and feeling like I'm a little stronger, and I'm a little more. I have wisdom, and my opinions and my thoughts really matter. It's given me the opportunity to speak up more. I used to be so scared to speak up. I used to be so scared to talk about my ideas. But I think the experience of all these transitions and all of these experiences, good and bad, has just kind of made me into the person that I am now, where I'm a little more unapologetic now. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:13:36]: As a professional, we always need women of color to be less apologetic. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:13:39]: Yeah. Period. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:13:41]: So as you've grown into your career, now you're sitting in an Assistant Director seat. I believe you went from being a member of your team to being part of the leadership team in your department. Is that right? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:13:50]: I started in the office May 2022 as a coordinator, and then in May 2023, I started as the Assistant Director. So they treated it just like a typical search, where it was like the job posted and I applied and interviewed. And it is so hard and so scary to interview in front of your coworkers because they know you and they know your personality. And I think to be able to do that and get over that fear and to also be in this position I've been in this Assistant Director role for three months. And then just full context, our Director has just started last Thursday, so we have a brand new Director. We have an interim Associate Director, and a couple of openings on our team. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:14:36]: Tell us about how you prepared to interview with people that you already know and who know you. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:14:41]: I think what carried me through in that preparation was I knew what was on the line because the previous role that I was doing, it was a coordinator for Student orgs role, and it's one person that oversees 350 student organizations. It's a lot of compliance work, and I feel like misunderstandings where no one really knows what you're doing. And the easiest way that I explain it to people is that, oh, I just look at spreadsheets and I grade canvas quizzes and I email people, but there's just a lot of behind the scenes that nobody really gets to see. And so I knew personally what my role consisted of as the coordinator, and I knew what the coordinator needs from the Assistant Director. And so I carried that thought process with me as I was preparing for the interview. Preparing for the presentation was like, if there's anyone that knows what this job is going to need, it's going to be me. And being a woman of color, where's the line between being cocky and being actually confident was something that I had struggled with, like preparing for the interview. And also the role that I'm currently in is also brand new. So I'm like the first person, so I feel like there's a lot of weight carried on in terms of, like, I have to perform a certain way. I said I would do XYZ Am I going to be able to do it? I don't have a coordinator underneath me, so I feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself to really be great, but also not let anyone down on my team. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:16:12]: And you prevailed, so your strategy was a good one. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:16:15]: Yes, and I'm surprised it worked. Why? I think because of just feeling like I'm always misunderstood and no one really kind of understanding my thought process and how I process things. And so I think to be able to articulate it in a way where people actually understood it in this one moment in this presentation that I had to give for my interview, where in my head, I feel like I'm fighting for my life. I will never forget when I came back to work the next day, there was a lot of buzz with the team. I didn't know you could be this confident. I didn't know you can bring it like that. I think a lot of the times people just kind of see me as really laid back and kind of quiet and minding my business. And I think the person they saw in that interview was someone who doesn't really show out that way on a daily basis. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:17:03]: And now that you've occupied the role for a couple of months, how has that changed the way you approach your team and the work? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:17:10]: It was interesting because they consider it a promotion, which I understand. For me, the way that I approach my work has shifted significantly because I'm also in the doctoral program. So I'm balancing work, I'm balancing school, which is really exciting. But I remember being offered the job, and I was told there's going to be some dynamics that change, and I didn't understand that at the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm excluded from my coworkers. Now they're on the coordinator level and I'm on the assistant director level. And in our office, if you're an assistant director or an associate director or the director, you're considered the leadership team. And I understand that that is part of the process of being a leader. It's hard. I'm such a people person, and so being excluded kind of hurts sometimes. But now I'm beginning to understand that that's okay because I have other besties and other friends and partners across campus who are in the same parallel position as me, where it's like we also are on leadership teams for our offices, and we can't just vent down, and so we just vent across to each other. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:18:18]: That's one of the most interesting things about coming into mid level leadership, is that you're a part of many teams, a junior member of some teams, you're a senior member of other teams, you're in the middle of some teams. And that really changes the way that we process and talk about information, I think, either consciously or subconsciously. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:18:33]: I think since joining the leadership team at work, I've definitely been a little more conscious about what I share and what I open up to the team in terms of operations or what's going on with other coworkers, just because I now understand that some things are better kept private. Or it's like, I would rather you find out from senior leadership than from me because I'm still brand new. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:18:57]: So kind of looking at the culmination of all the transitions you've had over the last couple of years, what would you like to say to past Clarissa when these transitions all began? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:19:07]: Oh, my God. I would tell Past Clarissa that everything you're going through, it's not the end of the world. You're going to be okay. Take a deep breath. I feel like, at the time, I thought it was the end of the world. I thought it was the end of my professional reputation, and I thought no one was going to want to hire me because I just had so much trauma. Like, I was carrying that with me professionally. And I think I would tell Past Clarissa, too, that everything you want is on the other side of fear. You just have to be able to get over it, whether that's going to therapy, whether that's just kind of facing it head on. There's good people out there that will always be in your corner and support you. And I know this process of transition and coping and processing, it's not possible to do this all alone. And I'm just so thankful that so many people just had my back and really pushed me to, like, hey, you need to get uncomfortable. You're wasting your own potential by not going after this job, by not coming back into the field. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:20:10]: That is such a word. Everything you want is on the other side of fear. Good nugget, Clarissa. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:20:15]: Thanks. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:20:16]: So let's look at it in the other direction, too. What do you want to tell future Clarissa two years from now Clarissa or three years from now? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:20:22]: I would love to tell her to just not stress, and I just say that very candidly because I'm going through a lot of health issues right now, and I know part of it is just all rooted in stress. And I would love to tell future Clarissa, like, hey, you made it through all this. Let's take care of ourselves now. And I think the most exciting thing that I would want to tell my future self is, like, you got everything you want because you worked hard for it, and don't ever let anyone undermine the work that you've put in to. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:20:53]: Get to where you are and then thinking about your kind of holistic perspective as well. Is there anything that you would definitely want to repeat in terms of identifying how to transition successfully? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:21:04]: I think speaking about it is so important. I used to be so scared and so embarrassed to tell people, hey, I'm going to apply for this job. Or like, hey, I'm thinking about making the jump from this functional area to that functional area because I was so afraid of what people would think about me or think about, like, oh, I don't think you're making the right career choice. And I think if there's anyone that's going to know you best, it's yourself and your instinct and your gut. And I think as much as I say I've had good people that have supported me, a lot of it has also been my instinct. I knew I could do this work. I know that I'm good at this, and I think that's also carried me. So I think from a holistic approach and thinking about all these transitions, I think your instinct carries you through it. I think talking about it too to the people that you know would support you and keep it very candid and honest with you are the ones are the one thing, two things that I could say have helped me in the. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:22:03]: Last four or five years and also thinking about this whole process. Is there anything you wished you would have done differently? You mentioned talking about it, but anything else? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:22:10]: I think what I wish I could have done differently, I wish COVID didn't happen. I graduated in 2019, so I had that fall semester in person and then 2020 to 2021, 2022, it's just a blur. And I just say that because I feel like it just took my prime years as a professional away. And so I've always been told that your first year to your fourth or fifth year is like your new professional years. And I felt the Pandemic really took my new professional years where I kind of only know things as remote and not really pre COVID. But I think the lessons that I learned through the Pandemic really helped. And going back to grit and resilience, if it wasn't for the Pandemic, it wouldn't have built all of these personality traits and these values for me. So it's kind of like good and bad. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:23:00]: Also just state for the record that grit and resilience traits, oftentimes for women of color, come out of a system that wasn't built for us, and we have to figure out how to navigate that system. So I think it's awesome that you found yourself being able to build those traits. But I also would encourage and challenge anyone listening to the show today who has authority over a system to really look at how that system is built for people and not built for people. Because that's really the driving. Force behind real inclusion and real progressive deib for your organizations and all of the values that we talk about a lot and sometimes we struggle to operationalize. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:23:39]: I love that. That was great retweet. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:23:43]: I'm completely off of Twitter now, or X or whatever the heck that it's called. I had enough. I think my account I still own my username because I don't want anyone else to have my username, but haven't been active in a little while. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:23:55]: Yeah, it's been tough with that whole change with X. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:23:58]: More transitions. Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:24:00]: Yes. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:24:00]: Any final advice you'd like to give our listeners on their own transitions or wisdom from yours? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:24:05]: I think transitions can be such a beautiful thing. I think it's just how you look at it, because again, everything you want is on the other side of fear. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:24:13]: It's time to take a quick break and toss it over to producer Chris to learn what's going on in the NASPA world. Dr. Christopher Lewis [00:24:20]: Welcome back to the NASPA World. Really excited to be able to talk to you again today. And there's a lot happening in NASPA. I know I say that every week, but it's true. So many opportunities to learn, to grow, to expand your horizon to the future that you have in front of you. And one of the things that is coming up in January january 24 to 27th in Atlanta, Georgia, is the 2024 NASPA Institute for Aspiring Vice Presidents for Student Affairs.

This application based program is an institute so unlike conferences where you may choose to participate or not in concurrent session, during this institute, all attendees will participate in the same cohort experience and are expected to engage fully in all aspects of the program. This is a powerful program that definitely prepares individuals to look at becoming a Vice President for Student Affairs. The ins, the outs, the positives, the negatives, everything in between, and you have a ton of great mentors that support you throughout the Institute and beyond.

Another great professional development opportunity that really falls into our last season of the podcast is the fifth European Conference for Student Affairs and Services. ASPA is partnering with Ayuka, which is. The European University College Association and Perodus College American Farm School as they all invite you to the fifth annual European Conference for Student Affairs and Services that's going to be held in Thessaloniki, Greece on November 9 through 11th. In a world where the availability, functionality and accessibility of technologies are growing exponentially and where new realities such as the metasphere appear, education providers need to reimagine their role in what is starting to be called the onlife world. Student affairs departments are well placed to support students in gaining invaluable experience, to get to know themselves better, and to grow and mature in this program. You can find out more about this program on the NASPO website. As you delve a little bit deeper, you're going to find that there are many different topics within this conference, including student affairs, staff preparation and professional development, career readiness and preparation for the future, mental health and well being and cultural skills and inclusive learning. The conference will definitely open your eyes to the broader world of student affairs outside of the United States and will open you to being able to consider perspectives that you may never have considered before. Highly encourage you to take a look at this conference and see if it's a right fit for you. Every week we're going to be sharing some amazing things that are happening within the association. So we are going to be able to try and keep you up to date on everything that's happening and allow for you to be able to get involved in different ways. Because the association is as strong as its members and for all of us, we have to find our place within the association, whether it be getting involved with a knowledge community, giving back within one of the centers or the divisions of the association. And as you're doing that, it's important to be able to identify for yourself where do you fit, where do you want to give back? Each week. We're hoping that we will share some things that might encourage you, might allow for you to be able to get some ideas that will provide you with an opportunity to be able to say, hey, I see myself in. That knowledge, community. I see myself doing something like that or encourage you in other ways that allow for you to be able to think beyond what's available right now, to offer other things to the association, to bring your gifts, your talents to the association and to all of the members within the association. Because through doing that, all of us are stronger and the association is better. Tune in again next week as we find out more about what is happening in NASPA. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:29:50]: Chris, always appreciative of your work with the NASPA World segment, keeping our members updated on what's going on in and around the association.

Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:30:54]: It's a split between Call Her Daddy by Alex Cooper and the True Crime Podcast. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:30:59]: And finally, any shout outs you'd like to give personal or? Clarissa Mae Calimbas [00:31:02]: Oh, that's a good question.

Michigan Wolverines football coach Jim Harbaugh is back with the team following his self-imposed three-game suspension for alleged recruiting violations. As expected, he returns to a 3-0 team with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in his cross-hairs for Michigan's Big 10 opener. Jim Harbaugh is the quarterback whisperer and JJ McCarthy could use him now following his 3 interception performance last weekend. During the Jim Harbaugh sabbatical, wide receiver Roman Wilson elevated his game. He has six touchdown catches in three games. Expect more of that between Wilson and McCarthy moving forward. Meanwhile, as the University of Michigan arch rival Ohio State University prepares for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Saturday, the Buckeyes defense has played at a historic level. We will explore that further. Plus we have the latest news and notes around the Big 10.  Finally, we put out our weekly Big 10 Power Rankings on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.  Connect on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10  Website: https://talkbig10.com     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Leadership is not easy. It demands patience, conviction and transparency. In the profession of college admissions and college admissions counseling, it's imperative that we have leaders who are true to themselves and committed to the young people who will lead in the future.   Vern Granger holds the respect of thousands of individuals who work in college admission and school counseling. Many of us will descend upon Baltimore this week for the annual conference of the National Association of College Admission Counselors (NACAC). He is the standing Board Chair of our professional organization who doubles as the Director of Undergraduate Admission at the University of Connecticut. With senior admissions positions also from The Ohio State University and North Carolina State University, Vern has overseen seen admission and enrollment of revered, public, flagship universities and done so with aplomb.  Our interview with him - a must listen - was better than we could have asked for. He offered advice for families, gave us his perspective about the state of college admissions given the recent SCOTUS decision and, most admirably, was vulnerable enough to discuss his own occasional imposter syndrome and how all aspiring leaders in the profession can confront theirs and persevere.   Vern is a dad to one but a father figure to many. He watched his own daughter apply to college in 2022 and knows how important compassion and communication are in this process.  A true man of the people, servant and leader are the two words that best describe him. We are honored to have spent this 45 minutes with him and now we present his wisdom to you.

Banned Books Week is an annual celebration of the freedom to read. The theme for Banned Books Week 2023 is “Let Freedom Read” and it's being celebrated from October 1-7. A PEN America report for the first half of the 2022-2023 school year tracked 1,477 instances of individual book bans that have affected 874 unique titles. Book bans disproportionately target authors of color, LGBTQ+ authors, and other marginalized groups. Books about racism, sexuality, gender, and history have been removed from library shelves across America. In today's episode, we talk to Sabrina Baêta from PEN America and author Grace Ellis about the current state of book banning in America, the impact that book bans have on creators, libraries, and young readers, and what we can do to stand up against book bans and protect the freedom to write, read, and access information. Grace Ellis will be at the Bexley Public Library on Wednesday, October 4 at 7:00 PM for a Conversation on Censorship to celebrate Banned Books Week. Grace Ellis is a New York Times-bestselling, GLAAD Media Award–winning author and script writer. Born and raised in Ohio, she studied theater and journalism at The Ohio State University.

In 2022, Grace was given an Ohio Individual Excellence Award in playwriting for "Holding It Together," a site-specific play for high schools. Her next DC book, DIANA AND THE HERO'S JOURNEY, is out this fall. In 2023, she wrote the play “EXPLICIT CONTENT FOR TEENS,” about the fall out of a play's censorship in a public highschool. Grace lives in Columbus, Ohio, where she can often be found eating ice cream or petting a cat. Sabrina Baêta is a Program Consultant with Freedom to Read at PEN America.

Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day speaks to the media following Saturday's 63-10 victory over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

On this episode Ariel talks about how vital the power of consent is to protect you legally, emotionally, and physically. Offenses involving forced sex accounted for 60.4% of the total violent crime analyzed between 2019 and 2021, according to DegreeChoice's findings. Xavier University, University of Michigan, Drexel University in Philadelphia, Ohio State University and Harvard University ranked as the top five schools with the highest rates of reported rape making up the campus' violent crime. Instances of rape qualified for at least 89.5% of the violent crimes committed at the aforementioned schools, with Xavier University reporting 98.8% of all violent crime was reported cases of rape. According to The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), one of the largest nonprofit anti-sexual assault nonprofits in the U.S., only 20% of female students aged 18-24 reported sexual assault to law enforcement. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you're on Facebook and you see those questions like “What type of cat/mermaid/whatever are you?” or you buy a supposedly free app that takes your information and sells it to a third-party provider, you are the product. You're giving anyone who's collecting that information about you for them to sell to someone else or use it to market and advertise to you. If you're dating and a man expects you to pay attention to him just because he's talking to you, or to make him happy by catering to his ego, or expects you to send compromising photos of yourself just because he sent you unsolicited D-pics and acts all hurt and upset because you say no, these situations are all areas where you can use the power of consent. We give consent when we sign implied contracts authorising the use of our images just by uploading them on social media, or when we go in for a medical appointment and we expect our provider to keep our information confidential and safe. We also give consent when we sign permission slips for our kids to go on school field-trips, but one of the things that's not always obvious and is in the fine print is that we're also absolving those schools of any leal of medical responsibility if something should happen to our children, that's why it's sometimes a good idea to get an additional insurance policy that covers situations like that. Most of us are way too permissive with our emotional boundaries. We'll give in to someone, we'll let them pressure us to do something that we shouldn't be doing or isn't quite right just to make them happy. We're also way too permissive with our bodies and our boundaries and our legal information.

In this episode we are joined by Jason Blair. He has been an art educator at the primary level for over 20 years. He is the teacher leader in residence at the Columbus Museum of Art and he is working with Project Zero out of Harvard.In this episode we discuss:1. It's important that we take a step back and think how do we apply learning. How do we make connections between disciplines instead of just focusing on one discipline. 2. Students come to us creative it's important that we help sustain it and develop it further. 3. Set expectations that you want your students to be creative and imaginative in your space. 4. There is a hundred languages that every child speaks. 5. Create a space where all the voices and languages can be heard. 6. Inconvenient creativity - we want creativity when it is convenient for us. The problem is. kids are creativity 24/7/365.  7. How we respond to inconvenient creativity is extremely important. Do we see the mess or do we have see the potential.8. As adults we often see creativity first as the mess first before what the potential is. 9. Slow down and notice the world. 10. Take a noticing walk - have a theme for what you are noticing. There are things that we pass everyday that we don't notice. 11. When you are slowing down to notice things you'll notice body language of another student, a passing comment, a smile about something, and other nuances. 12. When we notice the humans to the left and right of us before the content it would be a different education field. 13. Help students become not just problem solvers, but problem finders. 14. Are we creating an environment where questions are welcomed and questions are expected. Questions are fuel where learning is going to go. 15. The Question Focus Technique. 16. Design challenges that help students become curious, develop empathy, notice the world. 17. Students need to practice working in teams. 18. Create activities and challenges that give you real life talking points to teach the students. 19. As an educator have a research question that guides your practice. 20. Ask yourself how can we get students to learn with, thru, and for other kids. 21. How can we step back so that the students can step up. 22. There's power in having different age groups working together. 23. How do we create conversations and environments that foster creativity. 24. Find ways to showcase the intellectual capacity of students to parents. 25. As educators we should be trying to lift one another up. 26. Book Recommendations: The Creative Act by Rick Rubin, Big Potential by Shawn Anchor27. Podcast Recommendations: Experience Matters by Steve Shapiro28.  We need to help students become curious about themselves, others, and the world.

As a 20 year veteran arts educator, everyday he is fortunate to learn from the creative geniuses that step into his art studio. He believes that we can empower students to tap into their creative potential, if we as educators nurture our own growth as creative change agents. To empower creativity in his students, Jason believes the educator must be the classroom creativity whisperer, building a community in which creativity is valued and thinking different is not just safe, but celebrated. Jason has established himself as a creativity specialist, capable of cultivating the creative dispositions that will illuminate imaginative ideas and help inspire innovative practice. He received his MA in art education from The Ohio State University. Currently, he teaches elementary art in Dublin, Ohio.

In today's episode we are joined by Dr. Erik Tracy, of UNCP's Department of Psychology, to discuss his research into how we process information when we listen to speech. Dr. Tracy shares how we assume personality characteristics of a speaker, based on a variety of elements in the voice, such as variation of pitch, timbre, and other characteristics. These assumptions cause us to automatically attempt to categorize what we hear, based on characteristics such as gender and sexual orientation. Dr. Tracy studies how words, and even smaller divisions of sounds within the words, are perceived by research subjects. This study of speech is part of the larger field of cognitive psychology, which studies how humans perceive and process information, such as language and physical characteristics.  Dr. Tracy supervises research students in the Psychology Department and teaches courses including Introductory Psychology, Sensation and Perception, and History and Systems of Psychology. A native of Buffalo, New York, Dr. Tracy received his B.A. in Psychology from the University of Buffalo and his PhD in Cognitive Experimental Psychology from The Ohio State University.  When he is not studying our reactions to voices, he likes to go to the gym, watch movies, collect action figures, and spend time with his husband, Jeff, and daughter, Adora.   Find the episode transcript here Follow UNCP's College of Arts and Sciences  on Facebook, X@uncpcas and Instagram@uncpcas

Julia Schneider's Nation & Ethnicity: Chinese Discourses on History, Historiography, and Nationalism (1900s-1920s), published with Brill in 2017, is an erudite study of early twentieth century theories of Chinese nationalism. In the book, Schneider considers the writings of Qing reformers Liang Qichao, complicates received narratives about anti-Manchu revolutionaries Zhang Taiyan and Liu Shipei, and traces the afterlives of their earlier writings in Republican era (1911-1949) theories of nation and assimilation that informed historiography and textbook writing in this period. Reconciling the idea of a “Chinese” nation with “China,” a variously construed geographic entity occupied and ruled in large part by non-Han ethnicities, becomes a key problem in these thinkers' writings. Liang Qichao's assimilation thesis, a theory that assumed non-Han groups become culturally subsumed by China as they rule over it, gained critical currency, as Schneider shows in her thorough analysis of turn of the century sources.  Nation & Ethnicity is a long volume that will delight serious scholars in its meticulously detail and attention to language in translation. The ethical stakes raised by Schneider's project, however, should interest a broad audience working in Chinese studies. In the podcast, we will lay out Schneider's arguments, theories of nationalism that inform her work, and the historical context against which her protagonists wrote. While new to the podcast, the book has been out for several years, so in addition to learning about this monograph, we will also get to hear about some new publications—Prof. Schneider's related recent article on Chinese nationalism.

A Cup of Tea on the Commode: My Multi-Tasking Adventures of Caring for Mom. And How I Survived to Tell the Tale by Mark Steven Porro https://amzn.to/3RgU1rN Mark enjoyed his carefree bachelor's life in Los Angeles. He had no steady girlfriend, no children, few responsibilities outside of work. But that all changed when “The Call” came. Genevieve, his eighty-nine-year-old mother, was on her deathbed. He rushed back to New Jersey to be by her side. Hours became days, days became weeks, then she woke up. So, he moved back into his childhood home and took over her care. His first task was to remove all hazards, which included the current caregivers. After, Mark asked his mother, “Do you trust me?” She whispered, “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means I'm in charge, and that means now you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked him dead in the eye, then puckered up her lips. He wasn't sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing him luck. He kissed her and hoped for the best. The parent/child role reversal may not have been unique to Mark, but how he dealt with it was. One day, hoping to make Genevieve's time on the commode a tad more pleasant, he offered her a cup of her favorite beverage. It was a hit, and a cup of tea on the commode became a staple on the morning menu, and the clear choice for the title of this intimate, funny, and heartwarming memoir of how eldercare can be done. A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles Mark's multitasking adventures of filling his mother's last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.About the Author “This author weaves his stories together, employing a wickedly humorous skill not unlike that of David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs” Mark Steven Porro, a New Jersey native (Exit 163), holds an Industrial Design degree from The Ohio State University.

We all want what's best for our learners, but oftentimes biases get in the way of having productive conversations about what learning should look like in the classroom. Instead, we need to have evidence- and research-based conversations that support what truly works for our children.   This week on the podcast, I'm talking with Darleen Opfer of RAND, a nonprofit organization that's committed to low income and minority students. Darleen started as a special education teacher but quickly saw a need for changes in schools and went on a mission to impact education policy for the better.   We talk about the loss of critical thinking skills as lawmakers remove topics from curriculum in some states, how demographics and culture impact both teaching and students success, and the impact of making decisions without sound and bipartisan research to back them up.   We can all be active in policy making, starting at our own schools level. Parent and teacher involvement is vital in ensuring that we focus on overall coherence in our schools.   Listen in!   About Darleen Opfer:   Darleen began her career as a special education teacher in Florida and then Virginia. After earning her Ph.D. in education policy at the University of Virginia, she became a professor of education policy. She served in that role at Georgia State University, Ohio State University, and the University of Cambridge, U.K.. Throughout her career, her focus has been on using evidence to improve schools for low-income and minority students.   In 2011 she joined RAND as Director of RAND Education. In October 2018 she was promoted to Vice President and became Director of the RAND Education and Labor Research Division; she also holds RAND's Distinguished Chair in Education Policy. Darleen has conducted policy research studies for several local, state and national governments on issues that affect teachers and schools, including recruitment and retention, professional development, and impact of policies on teacher practice. Recently, she's been conducting research on teachers' use of curriculum and how coherent instructional systems impact low income and minority students' achievement.   In addition to her research, she frequently serves as an advisor to international agencies and countries on teaching and teacher education including in Croatia, India, Israel, Norway, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and the OECD.   Jump in the Conversation:   [1:35] - Where Darleen's journey of school transformation began [2:53] - Why policy doesn't always work [3:18] - What RAND Corporation does [4:30] - What's happening in politics with some of the key education conversations [5:58] - Dropping curricula, which means they're dropping things that are necessary for critical thinking [7:24] - How RAND gets research out there to impact policy and education change [9:18] - Impact of 4-day schools - the research [11:44] - Solutions for low income and minority students [13:32] - Districts and schools that focus on coherence are more effective [16:50] - Demographic shifts and class culture [20:27] - The idea of transferring paraprofessionals to teachers using stackable credentials [22:51] - TALIS (Teaching and Learning International Survey) Video Study [27:15] - Resources for infusing nonpartisan views in the classroom [30:00] - How parents and educators can influence educational policy [35:51] - Turbo Time [36:50] - What people need to know about creating equity and access for all our learners [38:25] - Darleen's Magic Wand [39:42] - Maureen's Takeaways   Links & Resources   RAND Corporation Follow Darleen on Twitter Follow RAND on Facebook Connect with Darleen on LinkedIn RAND Corporation: Coherent Instructional Systems Gates Foundation: Coherent Instructional Systems Episode 137: Creating Equity to Improve Education Seattle's “Underground Railroad” library access 137:  Email Maureen Maureen's TEDx: Changing My Mind to Change Our Schools The Education Evolution Facebook: Follow Education Evolution Twitter: Follow Education Evolution LinkedIn: Follow Education Evolution EdActive Collective Maureen's book: Creating Micro-Schools for Colorful Mismatched Kids Micro-school feature on Good Morning America The Micro-School Coalition Facebook: The Micro-School Coalition LEADPrep
