My spring has been filled with interdisciplinary activities including theCommonwealth Commitment Summit,Kentucky Student Success Summit, andKentucky Innovations Conference with one more coming up this weekend –THATCamp Kentucky. Participating and presenting at these events has been an interesting experience and I strongly suggest that more academics get out of their silos from time to time. Yes, we learn from our disciplinary peers but there is much to be learned and shared across disciplines as well and we seem to forget that all too easily in the crushing round of teaching-scholarship-service.
