Shout out to the amazing @Dr_EKing for getting Brad Pitt to send his congratulations to @MissouriState grads. She also happens to be a class of 2011 @PennStateAlums.
A cool thing happened tonight. President @ClifSmart wants to give credit where credit is due: @Dr_EKing, thanks for doing something special for your students. #GoMaroon 🐻👏

I see you there @buildingfailure 👀.
Where are they going now 🌎? Earlier this semester, the senior class participated in a pinning ceremony led by AE prof Kevin Parfitt to announce to their peers (and the world!) where they're headed to work as leaders in the building industry!

Very impressed with @JustinPritcha19’s strategy for the @penn_state online move: he set up a basic plan then asked his students what they thought would work best and was fair. Just bc you’re the teacher doesn’t mean you have to have all the answers. #collaboration.

You are my academic soulmate @Dr_EKing 😍.
I would guess that three hours of my work week consists of editing each email I send to delete approximately 25 exclamation points.

Wish my classes were this fun @buildingfailure ! 😉.
Kevin Parfitt's section of AE 124, First-Year Seminar, spent some time in the labs building wood trusses that they will load to failure and compare the performance to one from a truss manufacturer. As a bonus, Kevin said, pounding nails is a great stress reliever before exams! 🔨

That moment when you realize you’ve been poisoning yourself with decaf coffee all week and that’s where that headache came from (why is that bag not a different color???)
