As a rural college grad myself, it’s important to keep these opportunities available and accessible. Geography shouldn’t keep someone from earning an education. chronicle.com/featured/stude…
Academia core is taking the day off from your day job to catch up on grading from your night job adjuncting. 🥲
I just found out that I have been selected for a fellowship FIVE MINUTES before I have to teach. How am I supposed to teach with this knowledge? Just randomly squeal and hope the students don’t notice?
Excited to share that, after much deliberation, I will be returning to the Mountain State this fall to begin my PhD in English @WestVirginiaU! As a returning Mountaineer, I know that my research on gender and Latino adolescence is going to be loved and supported fully. 💙💛
Came up to Morgantown for the weekend to check out my new house (!!!) and man… this view does not get old
PhDs don’t always works out the first time. Don’t give up! Fall 2023 Acceptances: Western Michigan (no funding) Rejections: UT Austin, University of Washington Fall 2024 Acceptances: UT San Antonio, West Virginia University, Illinois State (all funded) Rejections: Pittsburgh
I’m about to take myself on a nice long walk before making my final decision on where to do my PhD. I have three choices and all have their benefits. #AcademicChatter, what would you consider other than the usual criteria?
Just received my final decision from a PhD program and it was a rejection. Last year, this would’ve sent me spiraling and thinking “I’m not good enough” and “I’m a bad candidate.” Now? I am comfortable with not being a perfect fit for every program. Growth, I suppose?
This weekend, I rewarded myself for my graduate school acceptances by taking a trip to Puerto Rico with my mom. Here’s a tribute to all the women in my family who demanded a seat at UPR and always reminded me that education can and will change the world. We did it.
I just received my first acceptance to a PhD program… It doesn’t even feel real.

As the state pushes for adoptions, Marissa Sanders, a top foster care reform advocate, is leaving her role and WV because she can’t get needed support services for her adopted son. She has been constant voice at the Capitol during a foster care crisis. westvirginiawatch.com/2023/11/06/lea…

New: More WVU campus program changes and job cuts could be announced as early as today — this time in academic support programs. Program reviewed include the library, Honors College, LGBTQ+ Center and more. westvirginiawatch.com/2023/09/18/wvu…
Note that not a single “administrator” has taken a pay cut. #Universities have to teach. It’s what they are for. They are not “for” administering without any #teachers. Many have become topheavy with administrators, who just keep administering themselves more money and cutting…

The issue is not the state of WV or an interest in higher learning (would you have said this if this happened in VA or PA?)- it’s people who mismanaged the land grant funding of the 4th poorest state in the US and then blame it on “lack of interest in advanced learning.” #WVUAlum

Maybe if university administrators stopped cutting the humanities and social sciences and read a fucking book, they would understand the dialectic between repression and resistance better and know that they’re sowing the seeds of their own demise with these shows of brute force.

This week has been heartbreaking at WVU. ~160 RIFd faculty have taught their last classes--some, their last ever, forced to leave brilliant academic careers. Dozens more are leaving bc of the cuts, finding work elsewhere The fall is going to be so different --& diminished.
Letter from the Editor: As the semester comes to an end, The DA is preparing to change hands. Here are some final thoughts from Jules Ogden, the 2023-24 editor-in-chief. thedaonline.com/opinion/letter…
“I am humbled to tell stories of the valuable, dedicated individuals who serve WVU and its students during a time when their work was devalued. The impact of University faculty and staff is felt throughout the state, and their work is a beacon of hope for young West Virginians”

1. I love this so much I feel like I’m dying 2.Icarus’s mom is such a quiet, but strong part of the book and it means so much to me that someone cares about her. A house full of ferns, a hundred portraits, painting to outlast her life, a love worthy of two decades of crime.
i read icarus by @KaylaAncrum for the first time last week and have since already reread it, fully annotated it, and rebound it. this story and these characters mean so much to me and i have not felt this way about a book since i first read the wicker king in 2021.
