I just received an email from someone at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where I will be teaching this fall and next spring. The email suggested summer fitness resources and activities. The nicest part of the email was the following:

"Finally, please take the opportunity to invite a colleague for a walk around campus. Enjoy the weather, the company, and the edibles our Campus Operations folks work hard to maintain. The strawberries and serviceberries may have come and gone, but there are raspberries, blueberries, and greens ready now, with figs, more greens, and blackberries on the horizon."

Wow! A campus that plants and maintains edible fruits for its students, faculty, and staff. Nice.

I have been absent from this personal blog for a while. During this spring 2019 semester I ended up teaching five business courses in three institutions. It has been a busy period, considering that I also have been conducting the research interviews for my PhD dissertation. I am completing the first stage of my research - the interviews. I start the second stage next week - the analysis. I'll overlay the third stage - the writing - with the analysis as I begin to assemble my insights from the data.

I am teaching Fundamentals of Strategic Management, the capstone course for the undergraduate business program at the State University of New York, University at Buffalo. I am teaching the same capstone course at Canisius College, as well as the capstone Strategy course for the MBA program at Canisius. And at Daemen College, I am teaching two Master's-level courses, one on global business, and the other on doing business in the Pacific Rim.

The good news for me is that I will finish my interviews for my research next week and will start the analysis of the interview data, as well as starting to write. The research has been a uniquely enjoyable process. I have learned about teaching, especially from the students whom I have interviewed. Their perspectives on learning are amazing.

Keep an eye on my Learning Research blog, where I will summarize the insights I gain as I work through the interview data. Click here to go to the Learning Research blog.

This blog page will document my photography as I travel and teach globally. This is my replacement to Facebook.
Maybe not as fancy, but I promise I will not collect or sell your personal information to anyone. Please follow me. I'll try to entertain.
My first photo in the header here is from last summer from a visit to Olcott Beach.
In my website, I have two other blog pages you can follow:

1. Experiential learning activities.
2. Experiential research.

Join me on all of these.
​Happy 2019.
