In Case of Emergency, Hope

When faced with uncertainty, prioritizing hope can serve as a guiding force for both instructors and students in higher education. Pursuing hope allows educators to connect to their values and maintain a transformative vision, fostering deeper relationships with students and strengthening the academic community. By engaging in reflective practices, collaboration, and creative thinking, we can create meaningful, hopeful futures.
