Message from the Undergraduate College Division 

This week’s Division Message is from Tomiko Jenkins, Dean of Student Life 

Dear Friends, 

Much of what we offer in our roles in support of students involves a great deal of “heart work”. Yes, we all have the degrees and credentials to serve in the positions we hold, however, the passion and purpose driven nature of our roles flows from the center—our hearts. There are times when it feels as though I am all in—my heart (passion and purpose) and my head (degree and credentials), but my body is struggling a bit to keep up with the pace. In my humanness, my body gets tired, and this often leads to exhaustion. This exhaustion is often a key indicator that I needed to rest well before the exhaustion arrived in my body. There is literature that points to both the seven different types of rest and the value of rest. I love Tricia Hersey and “The Nap Ministry” as she beautifully holds space for the value of rest as a way of life, and specifically as a path forward in liberation work. As a person who often wrestles with resting and being still, I am grateful for the reminders to rest from thought leaders like Tricia Hersey, and I hold gratitude for Mother Nature who gifts us with four seasons; and to me, this time of the year, autumn, invites us all to be still and rest.

Autumn is my favorite time of year. Nature slows down a bit to prepare for leaves to change colors, and for the leaves to eventually fall. The daylight hours are shorter, and the nighttime hours are longer. The temperature drops a little and it is suddenly sweater weather and time for pumpkin spiced everything. The autumn harvest traditionally is an opportunity for gratitude and reflection. There is a clear message from autumn—slow down. The college will soon have Fall Break, and collectively, I hope we will all be intentional in engaging in ways that offer rest and opportunities to recharge and reset. The practice of rest looks different for all of us, and it should because we all need different things. It is important to know what you need and to create a plan to ensure that you can engage in restful practices that refuel you. Many of us will need to offer ourselves permission to surrender by releasing the plans you had to accomplish and tasks that you’ve placed in the parking lot and shift that energy to intentionally prioritize your wellbeing. There is a more rested version of you on the other side of this surrender who will be able to focus better and think with more clarity when you accept the invitation to rest. It brings me great joy to learn about the ways that folks center rest. I hope you will find me after Fall Break to share how you accepted this invitation. 

Rest well, Friends! 

Tomiko

Undergraduate College Division Message - 9.27.2024 

This week’s Division Message is from A.T. Ortíz, Dean of Equity, Inclusion, and Community Life.
 

Dear Friends,

I was driving to work the other day and got stuck in traffic.  In the midst of my angst – my worries about being late, the list of things to do mounting in my mind, the concerns I was hoping to address that day, and all the other thoughts that were clattering around in my brain – I suddenly looked up. 

What did I see? 

In the middle of a stand of trees, I saw one tree showing off the splendor of fall.  I saw yellows and oranges and reds.  I saw that one tree, trying to find its way into the new season, and it was beautiful.  It reminded me that this was the beginning of a new time – a season that usually holds two lessons for me.

The first is the importance of remembering what happens in nature during this time.  Yes, the trees change colors, but they also lose their leaves.  Do you know why?  They drop their leaves in order to conserve water for the winter.  It makes me wonder:  what do I need to let go of in order to be strong enough for the seasons ahead?  What do you need to let go of? 

That’s lesson number one – a question, really, about letting go. 

Lesson number two came from that drive to work the other morning.  I won’t notice the beauty around me if I don’t take time to look up. 

It’s important, in the midst of all the things we are doing, to pause, to notice what is around us, and to take in the beauty.  There’s lots of it:  beauty within the students with whom we work, beauty in one another, beauty on campus.  We are beautiful souls.  There is beautiful creation all around us.  We are beautiful people becoming.  We just have to notice.

Let’s be sure to take time to notice the lessons of this changing season.  What do they offer you?
 

Peace,

A.T.

YOU ROCK!

Message from the Undergraduate Dean

Dear Friends,

I would like to think that I would never take for granted the act of voting, mostly because I have vivid memories of my parents’ active participation in such activities in Jamaica. They participated even when there were threats of violence. It was that important to them. I suppose it’s in my DNA. I do also believe that because I chose to become an American citizen and understand the many sacrifices our ancestors (ones from long ago as well as most recent) made, it is a must that I vote. I share this for context because I have stayed up night after night to gather information about our upcoming elections. I am eager to learn about the candidates themselves, their policies, and the ways Americans have been and would be impacted by decisions made. I decided to watch some of the “townhall” hosted by Oprah Winfrey with Vice President Kamala Harris.

There were many moments of intrigue and pause, but one moment that stood out was a question pertaining to a woman’s right to choose. The mother of Amber Thurman, who died in a Georgia hospital of complications after taking abortion pills and waiting 20 hours was invited to this townhall. The doctors feared what actions to take because they wanted more clarity about the law. The mom wanted the world to know how much Amber suffered, that her death was preventable and that her daughter was not just a statistic; she wasn’t invisible. She wants the world to know that Amber was a loving and kind person who was loved by many. I had many feelings watching that segment, but for this reflection I want to lift up the ideas of “choice” and “visibility”. We thrive when we have the chance to share more of who we, our gifts and have the chance to explore, make mistakes and grow. This means we must constantly work on creating an environment that supports equity, provides opportunities, and create pathways for transparency and openness. We need this and so does our students. It isn’t lost on me that each day we show up at a women’s college, a place that we should create pathways for our students to feel strong, powerful, valued and seen. We have an opportunity to encourage, support and co-create by example. Let’s marvel in our responsibility to make and support change. Let’s keep centered the opportunities for our students to experience being visible so that they feel empowered to make choices, because there are many. It is our responsibility and duty—for ourselves and our students.

YOU ROCK!

Message from the Undergraduate Dean

September 13, 2024

As we begin to settle into our academic year, I have been thinking a lot about our time together. What a difference a year makes. As I walked in today, I was overwhelmed by the feeling of “hope and possibilities”. My reflection this past week reminded me of how far we have come in such a short period of time. We focused on being both proactive and responsive to our community’s needs. We made it through a strategic plan, developed plans to assess many of our programs and experiences (baseline information), completed an assessment of our policies and procedures, most of them finalized, and had the division’s website redesigned. We offered many educational opportunities for continued learning. We have also done a lot of work to build a strong foundation with each other- to better understand our strengths, challenges, and opportunities. And we broke down the siloes and see and interact with each other as human beings!!! Last year, we worked to create a psychological safety environment so that we remain excited to show up to work each day, and put our best forward, even when there were moments of struggle. That yielded a place of joy and optimism and set the stage for our many new hires—an amazing group of colleagues that will only make us better and stronger. We did this…all of this and so much more, and we did it TOGEHER. To get here, at this pace, I honor the hard work, dedication, “we can do it attitude”, creativity, courage, optimism, collaboration, co-creation, and your willingness to be open and honest, which helped us make difficult decisions in the spirit of growth. Our division has persevered and so, even with upcoming challenges, some known and others not, we are better and stronger. We will lean on each other and thrive. Our students are counting on it. Let’s keep enjoying the journey.

YOU ROCK!

• A HUGE pat-on-the-back to Caroline Northcutt for her efficiency in learning the process and distribution of verification letters.
• To all the Thrive Facilitators for helping students build community, learn resources, and make connections on campus.

• Ellie and Dayna’s presentations on voting and our students' first destinations at the UCD (Undergraduate College Division) meeting rocked! 
• Helen Roane, Residential Life Coordinator, for assuming additional responsibilities and leadership this year during student move-in and Hall Advisor orientation!!!
• Stacey and Dean Tomiko for the success of the SEPTA pass distribution!
