August 26, 2018 by Angelo Blancaflor No Comments

This summer, God has met me in a new way: in the contrast of writing poetry and scientific articles.

Summer Snapshot: Plan Long and Prosper

August 9, 2016 by Tamarie Macon No Comments

I’ve tried “getting my life together” more than once or twice. You too? Often, I begin with a measure of zeal, lit by a fire of inspiration (“Let’s do this!”) or perspiration (“Things are spiraling out of control – I must do this”).

Summer Snapshot: The Discipline of Simplicity

August 4, 2016 by Elsie Lee No Comments

Two years ago, my husband and I packed our two-bedroom townhouse into my parents’ garage and flew to the U.K. with two bags each. During our postgraduate studies, we lived in a 300 sq. ft. apartment and shared one three-feet-wide closet for a whole year. Aside from traveling and making friends from around the world, we learned a few unexpected lessons which we are trying to integrate into our lives this summer.

Summer Snapshot: Reimagining Work

August 1, 2016 by Christine Jeske 2 Comments

This summer I have been focusing on reimagining work instead of escaping work. I started the summer completing one of the heaviest projects of my life, my dissertation. PhD in hand, I spent a good few weeks reflecting on how to “come out of the tunnel” after an intense academic year.
