Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Meredith Madden has authored a new book - "Dear Students: 10 Letters to Empower and Transform Your Higher Education Journey" - a higher education guide that prepares students to authentically and intentionally “do school.”
Available from Peter Lang International Academic Publishers, Dear Students uses narratives to illuminate critical topics that will foster the reader’s understanding of valuable matters such as getting noticed and having your experiences centered; building a circle of support; the significance of faculty relationships including building those relationships in spaces like office hours; addressing fears of speaking, disrupting silence, and engaging voice in the classroom; developing deep listening; cultivating community; nurturing belonging; preparing to participate; and keeping hope alive.
Readers will engage moments of critical reflection and leave with many diverse "know-how" strategies that will position them to "do-school" from a place of empowerment and for the purpose of transformation.
