I received an email from THE Dr. Don Hossler asking if our university would be interested in participating in his research on adult learners. It looks like a legit email. He called me Dr. Chun. How did he know that? The EM nerd in me is kinda fangirling right now. 🤣

NASFAA has confirmed from a @usedgov source that the Department will be publishing an Electronic Announcement later today that confirms all Title IV student financial aid is exempt from the order. All other aid outside of Title IV is unclear at this time.

While getting out of our Uber, I told @Wh10Sean to “nap it up” so he can be at the social tonight because we know @jennthetutor will make him show up. Our Uber driver now has a new mantra. 🤣 #napitup

According to USNWR, I am the #1 ranked college admissions professional between the ages of 38-42 with astigmatism and born from Guatemalan immigrant parents on this flight. Time to update my LinkedIn.

My grandpa passed at the end of August, age 96. The world doesn’t make grandparents like this any more. Last night I dreamt that we were dropping him off in heaven trying to help him make friends. The Student Affairs nerd in me now wonders, is there orientation in heaven?

Reports suggest 93 people are dead, 1000 people missing still, and 2700 structures destroyed. To consider this an economic opportunity to acquire land for development & profit is beyond the pale. The colonial speculation of disaster capitalism is happening right now in Lāhainā.

Lahaina residents worry that rebuilt homes in their Maui town could slip into the hands of affluent outsiders seeking a tropical haven rather than homegrown residents who give the Hawaiian island its spirit and identity. apnews.com/article/hawaii-ma…

I’m at a local conference where a speaker stood up and did that fake hula move people do when you tell them you’re from Hawaiʻi. It’s happened all my life. For the first time ever, I told this person I was offended. They owned it well and apologized. 1/2

The previous versions of me that let go of these moments before are all a little prouder of me today. If you know what I’m talking about, I hope you find your courage to put a stop to that behavior like I did today. 2/2

Today a colleague thanked me for my “precision of care.” I’ve never heard that phrase but it’s gonna stick with me for a while. 😍🥹 #oiwischolarhoʻi #carebearstare

Dad let me light the firecracker string this year. Here’s hoping we lit enough to ward off bad spirits as we head into 2023. Happy new year, everyone. 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨
