I'll start: in high school, Washburn's (2006) University Inc. exposed me to all the challenges (and opportunities) of higher education.

Then in early college, Cain's (2012) Quiet laid the foundation for how I think about leadership and how I personally lead (yes, I'm actually quite introverted!).

Agree or disagree?
I’d love to hear your thoughts below.

And if you’re an instructor, follow along: I’ll be sharing templates, rubrics, and materials soon.

Students learn to research, reason, & argue with integrity. To understand both sides, not just defend their own.

In my latest blog post, I share why debates are:
• intellectually rigorous
• engaging for modern learners
• adaptable for ethical AI integration

My inspiration goes way back. I founded my middle school debate team, became president of one of the largest high school teams in the US, and even coached for years.

Debate shaped how I think, argue, and teach. Now I’m bringing that training full circle, into the classroom.

First, credit where it’s due: @chriswiese.bsky.social was the first I-O psych faculty I know to integrate structured debates into class.

Thanks for generously sharing your materials when I started designing this!

Also thrilled to have met many interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners advancing our understanding and practice of leadership — laying foundations for what I hope will be fruitful collaborations in research and consulting for my lab and our students!

Takeaway?

We’re ranked almost at the top based on graduating talented students who find good-paying jobs that offset tuition costs quickly.

That’s an encouraging reason to be at the top! 😁

I’m not on the search committee (I’m in the undergrad college, @cmc.edu), but my #iopsych & #obhr colleagues @ CGU are amazing, & I'm grateful to be on their extended faculty to work with their students. Feel free to msg me if you’d like my perspective on the Claremont colleges!
