Authored by Rae James. The more I read and the closer I looked at the patients under my care, I could see High-Functioning Depression (HFD) was everywhere. But people couldn’t go to their doctor and ask for a diagnosis or a prescription for antidepressants for it. If they did, the doctor would run through a quick screening tool for depression that looks for lack of functioning and acute distress.

by Patrick O'Connor, Ph.D. It was arguably one of the best moments in the history of school counseling, and, while I cannot remember who told me about it, I am most certain it happened. A student was in a counselors office, where the topic of discussion was the students academic progress. After engaging in the customary question-and-answer round, and concluding with the bucking up counselors are known to do even when a hurricane is about to demolish the building, the student stood up, slung thei
Im generally concerned about writing with partners. Thats because the power to say what is important, to name and to categorise, to summarise and to draw out implications, happens in writing. And in the writing, power can revert back to academic researchers. Despite our best intentions. In some situations where researchers do all of the writing, research partners may not be listed as authors on a research publication at all.

When it comes to preparing students for the workforce, colleges and universities have long emphasized internships, undergraduate research, and leadership positions.

While community colleges play a crucial role in providing accessible and affordable education to diverse student populations, many still struggle to fully accommodate students with disabilities, according to insights from community college students, faculty, and higher education experts. These institutions often attract many students due to their smaller class sizes and affordability, making them a viable option for students with disabilities, according to Dr.

I have written about this topic so many times it almost feels like Im addicted to it.

I have written fairly often on the importance of words. Words matter and most of us could be a little more thoughtful when choosing the words that we use. Our words shape how we think, feel, and connect with others. Words carry weight, subtly influencing conversations and relationships. One word that often sneaks into our sentences, quietly undermining our intentions, is “but.” Its a small word, just three letters, yet it has a big impact.

I just cannot imagine not looking out across the property as I open or close the gate without thankfulness.

Dr. David M. Johnson The allure of a community college presidency lies in the opportunity it affords to effect meaningful change in the lives of our students.
