Share fairly

Jed, the cat, is demonstrating an important point to remember as you interact with your colleagues: Share fairly! The bed Jed is lying on actually belongs to Murphy (dog in photo), but Jed has claimed it.

In your dissertation work, it is important to share your resources with your colleagues, if you find interesting articles or other resources you think may be applicable to someone's study share it with them. Hopefully, they will do the same for you. Share your experiences and advice with new students, while always trying to avoid scaring them with your stories.

Hoarding resources does not help you, your colleagues, or the profession. Be open to being a professional that is known for sharing and mentoring others.

Next time, we will consider what is a dissertation? Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Would you like to be a guest writer? Send me your ideas! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
