Really interesting: “Since the dawn of Pong, psychiatrists have been debating whether or not to treat excessive gaming as an addiction. In 2018, the World Health Organization recognized “internet gaming disorder.”” Thanks for sharing!

Grateful to have facilitated the first ever @CAIS_Schools LI in-person Pluralism module and to hear about the amazing work happening across Turtle Island. This is the quote I've clung to this year - may it inspire you to do the same.

My big take aways from Faculty Culture module working with @jasonbrogers Know: culture building is an evolution not a revolution Understand: Cultural planning should align with strategic planning Do: create a culture deck to support people belonging in the org’n #CAISLI
