One of the most frequent questions we continue to hear in the faculty development field is "How can I get tenure?" My good friend, Dr. Michelle Masse , is co-editor of a fascinating book (Over Ten Million Served: Gendered Service in Language and Literature Workplaces) that was recently released. The book discusses the idea of "faculty service" and how it should be evaluated in a tenure packet. It reminded me of Ernest Boyer's beautiful work on the scholarship of engagement. I would encourage you to read both. Tomorrow is such an exciting day for many of our Cardinals. Commencement exercises will occur at 9:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Congratulations to the graduates! I encourage you to go and make a difference in a world that is sorely looking for leadership. By the way, did you hear that the National Federation of the Blind gave Blackboard its top accessibility certification? Blackboard is the first learning-management company to earn the certification and the preferred learning-management system at LU.
