I orginally posted on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/timpmoore/) inspired by Larry Moneta and then decide to repost on ACUI Forum:
I’m watching the changes in higher education with great trepidation. Across the country, I see colleagues in student affairs facing layoffs, restructuring, and uncertainty—all while continuing to show up for students every single day. It’s disheartening to witness the toll being taken on so many dedicated professionals who have long been the heart and soul of campus life.
Though I’ve been retired for three years, I remain deeply connected to the profession. I present at conferences, stay engaged in national conversations, and contribute to projects. I make it a point to stay current, not just for my interest, but because I believe I still have something to offer.
People often ask why I stay involved. The answer is simple: student affairs and higher education have given me more than I could ever repay. The values, the relationships, the sense of purpose—they shaped my life. Staying active is my way of paying it forward.
If you’re struggling, uncertain about your next step, or need someone to talk to, please know I’m here. Send me a DM and we can set up a time. I can’t promise easy answers, but I will listen, reflect, and support however I can. You continue to show up for students. I want to show up for you.
