ELAM's Sustaining Membership Campaign is Underway
 
Each year, ELAM invites institutions from across the country to become Academic Sustaining Members  of ELAM. Membership comes with a number of benefits, including the ability to post job positions in the ELAM Edge free of charge (a value of $500 per posting), recognition on our website and other public acknowledgement materials, and the knowledge that their membership fees go to enable ELAM to provide continuing support for you, our ELUMs, through community building, continuing education and professional development.
 
Our invitations for Sustaining Membership went out a few days ago, and we've had a great response with over a dozen institutions already securing their memberships. Interested in knowing if your institution is a Sustaining Member or how you can assist the campaign? Contact our office today to find out!

Articles of Note

TEDx Talks, May 2017, 2015:
Unconscious bias is a prevalent factor driving culture, causing us all to make assumptions based on our own upbringings and influences. Such implicit prejudice affects everything, and it's time for us to be more thoughtful, smarter, better. In this funny, honest talk, Yassmin Abdel-Magied uses a surprising way to challenge us all to look beyond our initial perceptions.

Forbes, September 11, 2017:
Dressed and ready to impress during an interview, most of us still have to answer the paradoxical question: "What are your weaknesses?" How you answer this question is important for every job, but when you're interviewing for an executive position, it's especially relevant. It's probably one of the most common interview questions, and it's easy to provide a canned and equally expected response, but for savvy execs there's a way to break with traditional answers and win the job.

Knowledge @ Wharton, October 13, 2017:
Building good teams starts with having strong relationships based on a foundation of trust. But how does one develop that trust at work or in life? Counterintelligence expert Robin Dreeke, who spent decades as a senior FBI agent, knows how to make strangers trust him enough to be recruited as spies. And it's not about deception or being a 'yes' man. In the book, The Code of Trust: An American Counterintelligence Expert's Five Rules to Lead and Succeed, Dreeke and co-author Cameron Stauth share simple steps to generating trust from all sorts of people.
