Join us at 2pm Eastern today (Monday, September 29) for "Supporting Faculty Research in Difficult Times," a free webinar from @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

We're closing out the third day of the @modernlanguage.bsky.social Leadership Institute & I'm logging off of Zoom incredibly inspired by the work being shared by participants from humanities departments across the country. Y'all are doing *amazing* work.

Kicking off day 2 of the Summer Seminar w/ Managing Enrollments Creatively. One example: Stephanie Springer of the U of Arizona detailing how they’re growing majors in the College of Humanities, with Applied Humanities as one of the fastest growing majors on campus.

Opening this year’s @modernlanguage.bsky.social Summer Seminar w/ the “Advocating for the Humanities”Boot Camp for Leaders. Excited to welcome 130+ humanities leaders over the next few days.

Still no official message via eGMS Reach outlining the termination of our two NEH grants, but did notice that under the Information tab for both a new "Warning: FULL: Administrative Termination" (see screenshot below). Not exactly sure when it appeared.

I’m with you Fearless Girl.

A wonderful day advocating for the humanities on the hill. Despite everything going on, energized by the amazing staffers we visited and grateful for the opportunity to speak about the incredible value of @nehgov.bsky.social, Title VI funding, and NARA/NHPRC. @humanitiesall.bsky.social

If you are at #MLA25, be sure to check out the Professional Development Hub. You can sign up for mentoring, attend discussion sessions (on contingent labor, language advocacy, dept mergers, & other topics), find support for graduate students (who should also visit the grad student lounge!) and more.

#trianglesci worked incredible magic incubating projects, building community, stoking creativity, and fostering joy. Deeply appreciative of the people who made it possible.

Loving our new @humetricshss.bsky.social values cards — currently in use at workshops on both coasts at the same time.

Are you a leader or aspiring leader in a humanities discipline looking for your community? Might I suggest the MLA Summer Seminar (in person) or Leadership Institute (virtual)? Amazing leaders, great discussions, & guidance to tackle pressing challenges.
