EDITOR’S NOTE


We are excited about this year’s Journal. The scope of the topics covered this year are as varied as our readers. We believe this year’s Journal will broaden your horizons and challenge the thinking our audience. This year represents the sixth volume, and we know readers will be edified by the articles herein. As researchers, practitioners, and advocates for students, we must continue to learn, grow, and deepen our understanding of students’ experiences. Sometimes, what gets lost in our efforts to support students is our ignorance to how faculty are impacted. Thus, supporting students means that we must support our faculty and staff.

This year’s Journal includes topics such as diversity, online learning, mathematics education and a faculty member’s experience managing the demands of administrative decision making and student success. We are confident that readers will find the offerings in this volume to be helpful and informative.

Enjoy!
