A very engaging conference. Pleased that CSW participated in two presentations, including sharing the stage with Jeremiah and Rachel Sims’ Rooted In Love rootedinlove.education
In order to get to radical integrity, we must arrive at radical humility. Radical humility necessitates the daily dying of the cowardly self so that the courageous self can live, and love -- without fear. -Jeremiah J. Sims Ph.D #DecolonizingEducationPresenter #DecolonizingEd

Such an honor to travel to Wenatchee and acknowledge @CollegeSparkWA Trustee Jesus Hernandez. When successfully completing their trustee appointment, CSW Trustees designate a charity for a CSW grant. Jesus identified the Melissa Hernandez Inspiration Fund, read about it: @cfncw

It is such a pleasure to have Dr. Zhou serve on the @CollegeSparkWA Board of Trustees.
I wanted to thank the @LWTech Foundation for recognizing Dr. Lin Zhou as the recipient of the 2021 LWTech Foundation Annual Distinguished Alumni Award! Dr. Zhou currently serves as the President @BatesTechnical. Congrats and well-deserved!
Some compelling research funded by College Spark Washington @CollegeSparkWA
