One of the most common questions I get from my students this time of year is regarding what I’m reading this summer. So, here’s the list, including a couple of terrific re-reads:

📚✨ Celebrating our spring courses! The Church and the Human Person! ⛪️ Throughout the course, they've explored the crucial intersection of faith and human dignity, delving into moral issues that impact society today. #courseTRS 202 • • • #TucsonBusinessCommunity #LocalCollaboration #SupportLocalBusinesses #PartnershipMatters #TucsonPride #CommunityDrivenEducation #StudentOpportunities #BusinessNetworking #CareerDevelopment #InternshipProgram #LocalEconomy #BuildingConnections #TucsonLeadership #EducationForAll

The final stretch is here! In her latest Impact post, 3L Kristie Hoang reflects on the valuable lessons, rewarding experiences, and occasional setbacks that this year's graduating class has faced--and why this class, after losing much of their senior year of undergrad to Covid, wants to celebrate in style.

Doesn’t it feel like all we talk about these days is AI? It tops every agenda now – from Davos to Dayton. Yes, we need to take it seriously and prepare: jobs will go away and many more will change – but how? As technology does more of the work on our behalf – for better or worse – distinctly human capabilities like creativity, critical thinking, clarity of expression, and caring for human experience will increasingly become the “hard” skills. Are we ready? Thanks to Michael Elliott and Emily Cameron Griffen for having me back to Amherst College (seriously, twist my arm…) to share a perspective on how a Liberal Arts education will prepare today's students for leadership in the future – in careers, yes – and also in life and as citizens of an increasingly complex society.

Coro is such a great program for both the cohort and the employers. Read more about this and other innovative leadership programs at #umsl #ciac #communitydevelopment #ecodevo

What can TV shows and movies teach us about conflict in family businesses? A lot! Marco Mismetti visited my D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University family business class yesterday ("Examining Family Business Dynamics Through Film") to help us analyze families in shows like The Godfather, Bob's Burgers and CAKE BOSS SA and to teach the class about effective conflict management. Thank you Marco for a great day! I look forward to working together on our conflict in family businesses research! #entrepreneurshipeducation #familybusiness

"WE WILL GET THERE" BY MATT-Q https://lnkd.in/gxXjEx6A We sang this song so many times in school that I, for one, never even stopped to think what "THERE" is. When Singapore first became independent, "THERE" was just survival as the narrative we spun to excel as the only form of validation we needed to maintain the coherence and longevity of the state. When we transited from Third World to First World, "THERE" seemed to shift to other forms of excellence that was more in terms of putting our name out there and promoting the association of our brand name with service excellence, educated rigour and being on par with the other developed countries in terms of sophistication of infrastructure and connectivity. But at some time, while we were busy fighting so hard to survive, moving from one thing to another, we never realised that "THERE" has become so much more difficult to actualise. To some, it just means whatever we want to do, just accept us and that, to them,, is the meaning of inclusivity. To others, it means just having 'arrived' in society where we can get the best life possible- best school, best tuition, best connections, best career, best reputation. The downside of it is that if we spent our whole lives striving for that coveted "THERE" and we do not seem to attain it as well as our peers, we think then that we have essentially little value. The other extreme is that if we think we are "THERE", that causes presumptuousness and maybe, contempt for those whom we feel do not fit our standards of competence. While we provide many paths to success, and that actually widens the net for those of us who found it challenging to conform to one particular mold in previously, I suspect that, for many of our younger ones are reaching a stage where they are struggling to find their own "THERE". We have seen cases of those who studied hard in the past because parents urged them and told them that was the only way to gain significance are finding that once that external pressure is removed, there is no impetus to work so hard for something that they do not see as that essential and so, some, once they get their freedom, let loose completely because there was a MISALIGNMENT of "THERE". Unless we really seriously and honestly reflect as a nation on WHAT is "THERE", WHY we want to get "THERE", and how "THERE" is essential to our identities and purpose for living, then, eventually, just running non stop full steam ahead can lead to more derailment and eventual loss where we may have even forgotten why we do anything anymore. Perhaps the most important question we can ask ourselves individually and collectively as a nation as we pass the torch to successive generations is- WHAT EXACTLY is our "THERE" and WHY SO; because that will determine the course, quality and longevity of our future more than we think. #wewillgetthere #stefaniesun #matthewqueksingapore #nationaldaysingapore #there #why #what #purpose #think #evaluate #trueworth #success
