Another reason to major in English and value a college education: “They’re absolutely professional astronauts, wonderful communicators — almost poets,” Isaacman said. “These were ambassadors from humanity to the stars.” @cuny.edu @yorkcollegecuny.bsky.social #academicsky

Artemis II just completed their historic 10-day mission around the moon! Congratulations to our astronauts and @queenscollegecuny.bsky.social alum Umar Kagzi, who developed the software for the spaceship 🚀

Can't agree more. Do you think the name INTEGRITY, the joy in expertise, learning, and collaboration are transmitting messages of resistance to planet Earth's atmosphere?

I await inspired scholarship on Artemis 2, but I am interpreting resistance to current Earth atmosphere through the name INTEGRITY, the projection of values such as respect, joy in expertise and learning, and collaboration among people of different genders, colors, and nationalities. #academicsky

My inspirational colleague Elizabeth Quaye @yorkcollegecuny.bsky.social @cuny.edu taught me so much about accounting in a faculty publication workshop I facilitate. Reading her work and hearing her passion, I will never think about accounting in the same way.
