Cozy up for the 5th edition of AOE Engage

Happy Holidays! This year has passed so quickly. I was reflecting on where we were this time last year--eagerly awaiting vaccinations, fearful of travel, uncertainty of virtual recruitment, and much more. Although times continue to be challenging and there are many more unknowns ahead of us, there are also so many things to be grateful for—vaccine availability for kids over 5, potential to catch up on postponed vacations, and the ability to socialize safely with friends and family. I am also grateful for our AOE community. We have grown stronger amidst this year of challenges.
Virtual meetings have allowed us to gather with more members than ever for presentations, workshops, and book clubs. Judson’s podcasts helped us to better know some of the amazing leaders we have right here at UNC. Our FLAGship, TARHEEL, and Passing the Torch programs are providing specialized training and skillsets to smaller groups of engaged members. Please nominate your educator colleagues to join this amazing group as we turn to 2022!
