Professor Carol St. George and Clianda Florence are back with their latest Letโ€™s Get L.I.T. monthly column for Rochester Woman magazine.

In this monthโ€™s piece, โ€œWhere Your Attention Goes When You Turn the Page,โ€ they explore how, in a world constantly competing for our attention, reading remains one of the few spaces where children and families can slow down, connect, imagine, and truly focus. ๐Ÿ“š

Katie Brasley Trepanier โ€™26W (EdD) reflects on the powerful symbolism behind URochesterโ€™s official emblem โ€” the dandelion โ€” as a model for Kโ€“12 leadership: resilient, mission-driven, adaptable, and committed to spreading growth beyond itself.

Her message to K-12 school leaders: Be brave enough to be a dandelion. ๐ŸŒผ

As school leaders, protect your marigolds AND BE A DANDELION.

๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’ป Writing is in full swing at the Warner School as our Spring Writing Camp kicks off today!

For four focused days, faculty, staff, and students are coming together to draft, revise, and reimagine their workโ€”from articles and chapters to proposals and project plans. LeChase Hall is once again buzzing with concentration, collaboration, and encouragement, setting the tone for a strong start to the summer.

Thank you, MJ Curry and Michael Occhino, for helping make this vibrant, writing-centered community possible.

โ€œWe bent, we crawled, we pushed through the scorching heat, and here we stand. Proud and unwavering, ready to conquer life. But friends, in front of us today is a higher calling. Our success demands that we give back. I ask you, Class of 2026, to imagine 20 years from now, someone standing on a stage like this, and saying to you, โ€˜Thank you for saving my life.โ€™ Go out there and be somebodyโ€™s miracle!โ€ โ€” Onesmo Mushi โ€™26W (PhD)
