"You can acknowledge something all day, but what are you giving up?" - @DrBritWilliams, on higher education not being liberatory spaces #APCA23
"What was sold to me was that this is good work that is fulfilling and that should be enough. I think we now know that's not enough. I love students, but that's not enough. I can't pay my rent with passion." – @TerahJay, on what the field of #StudenrAffairs tells us. #ACPA23

"I can't pay my bills, but I'm supposed to provide my whole self to these students and also be ok when I go home, too. We've got to take care of each other." - @DoctorJonPaul #ACPA23
"Is it quiet quitting or is it holding others accountable? [...] Is it people saying, I'm tired of my colleagues being able to get away with doing whatever they want and me having to do twice the work." @DoctorJonPaul. The unacknowledged work of Black women & trans folks! #ACPA23
"When you are super competent in your role, that's the quickest way to get more work." – @TerahJay #OtherDutiesAsAssigned #ACPA23
We're trying to live tweet so much of @DrBritWilliams' brilliance, but our fingers aren't as quick as our ears and eyes for live captioning – where can one save the transcript from this incredible conversation? #ACPA23
Final question: Knowing what you know now, would you still choose higher education? #ACPA23
"I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to change people's lives. I don't take that for granted." - @DrBritWilliams Same, Dr. Williams. Same. Happy #ACPA23, everyone! We can't wait to connect with you in the coming days 💜✨
