The most enduring marker of success isn't wealth, fame, or power. It’s what we create and contribute to others.
In the short run, status symbols capture attention. In the long run, achievement is judged by impact.
The highest accomplishment is improving the lives of others.

Just heard from my parents! They’re ok. Marshall is destroyed. Heartbroken that a place I love so dearly will never be the same. Please consider making a donation to the Red Cross of NC - text Helene to 90999.

Hearts full of gratitude for what North Carolina brought us these past four years. Woke up to a Michigan sunrise, and feeling optimistic about this next chapter of life.

I played my last NC USTA league match ahead of our move to Michigan. Over these past 2 years, I’ve played 79 USTA matches, 30 off season matches, &countless meet ups. Needless to say, tennis was a wonderful outlet during Kristen’s busy residency years. Can’t recommend it enough!

Truly an honor to join the @APLU_News Council on Student Affairs Summer Forum today to share practical implications of my fellowship research with @ucfreespeech. I asked attendees to write down “what sticks,” and I’m floored by the responses. Lots of good work to be done!

Democratic decline in the U.S. & globally, lack of confidence in political institutions, an increasingly violent & divisive political climate raise many questions for political learning & #civic engagement. Can #highered meet the moment? Read our new volume: infoagepub.com/products/Lean…

For 4 years, @LaDoctoraCK navigated a grueling graduate medical training program, clocking 80 hours a week, and still finding opportunities to use her voice for justice. 27 days to go! #ImWithKCK

Some of our Credo teammates dusted off their personal archives - recognize any of these Credoites?
