Devastating news out of the North Country this morning. 💔 I cherished every opportunity I had to take that peaceful drive through the Adirondacks, which very often included Long Lake. Praying for you all. #nywx
The Spillway Dam in Long Lake NY in the Adirondacks collapsed last night… The town of Long Lake is devastated, all routes in and out of town are washed out and they have declared a state of emergency. The town is currently stranded. All photos from Facebook of Long Lake. #nywx

“Leaders need to initiate and introduce new ideas so team members understand what they could achieve together even if doing so requires growth in the process.” Whew @lizgross144’s latest @CampusSonar letter spoke straight to my soul this morning.

Sir it is APRIL.
We are growing increasingly concerned about the potential for power outages and very difficult travel across central New York and northeast PA. The snow is expected to be heavy and wet, with the potential for rates as high as 3" per hour overnight tonight.

I really thought I was prepared for my final week at SLU, but a colleague just walked in with two big jars of custom M&Ms in Hamilton colors with compliments and my picture on them and I’m both touched and inconsolable. ❤️🤎😭

THIS from @LisaBarone: "I will embrace the challenge of tying our KPIs to our ability to solve our customer’s problems vs. patting ourselves on the back for getting them to click & convert. Your brand exists for a bigger purpose. Put your money where your mouth is & fulfill it."

I’ve been overwhelmed by many thoughtful messages since announcing my next career move. (Thank you.❤️) It reminded me to prioritize telling colleagues when they’ve made a difference and made me or our work better. Let’s normalize this.

*“What about Joe?!” He’ll still be at St. Lawrence! I’ll make the trek to the North Country all the time to see him and others, and now he has another reason to make frequent trips to his hometown in Central New York. Cheers to new challenges and opportunities in 2022! /end

When I managed SM, I created/posted content over the holidays at the expense of time w/ family and vacations. No one told me to. I just thought I had to do it. Channels and algorithms no longer dictate that my team can’t rest. Inspo: @ErinSupinka❤️ Supported by: @coachfern 🙏
We wish all Laurentians a restful holiday season and a great start to the new year! We are stepping away from our social media channels over the next two weeks to give our staff time to do the same. We’ll see you in 2022!

For all my #highered friends writing yet another message this week. ❤️
