Another great #SAChat, this week on the election and its implications on higher education. Thanks to Kevin Wright for the thoughtful questions. Thanks to the guest MODs who saw the need for space to talk about this that the community asked for and postponed their unrelated topic to December.
MOD: Q1 – What has been the response to the results of the election on your campus? #SAChat
A1: admittedly I've internally reacted bitterly when I've perceived other #sapro to be functioning business as usual. #SAChat

A1: It's been hit or miss, but I've made the conscious effort to at least dialogue with staff/faculty/students #sachat

MOD: Q2 – What spaces are being made for #SAPros and #SAGrads on your campus to talk about the election? #SAChat
@The_SA_Blog My prof in my Master's class created a safe space for emotions/discussion on how we can help ourselves & students #SAchat

A2. We dedicated our entire res life pro staff meeting, which our grads attend, to processing about the results. #sachat

MOD: Q3 – What could the result of this election mean for the students we serve? #SAChat
Q3: It could mean never feeling safe or trusting anyone on campus. A shifting of their entire worlds #SAchat

#Sachat a3 More unrest… more discomfort… more fear… a higher sense of alertness to the issues…

MOD: Q4 – How do we move forward now that a new President has been elected? #SAChat
Q4: We work to better educate our students and work to prepare them for the world they will be facing head on as graduates/alums #sachat

Q4. The best way we know how. Dusting ourselves off and being the best influence we can in our areas of control. #SAChat

MOD: Q5 – How are you educating others on this election from a social justice lens? #SAChat
A5. Using my space to facilitate conversation about identity. Using "Who am I" by Beverly Tatum as a foundational piece #sachat
— (((JR Goldblum))) (@jakegoldblum1) November 10, 2016
Q5 #sachat Listening, Offering support & conversation, sharing #socjustice knowledge, offering to integrate more #diversity into training.

MOD: Q6 – What do you think this means for the future of higher ed? #SAChat
A6: What we see students/higher ed staff do to build bridges across differences gives us hope for positive change. #sachat
— InterfaithYouthCore (@ifyc) November 10, 2016
A6 I'm concerned about K12 education. The future of HigherEd weakens if the pipeline corrodes. #SAChat

MOD: As we close the chat, what is your Final Thought (FT) or Final Question (FQ) that you’d share with the group? #SAChat
One last thought, any1 have ideas for supporting #introverts? As one myself, I am not likely to flock to public forums to process. #sachat
— Brianne McNasty (@briannemcd) November 10, 2016
FT: we need to empower our students to be informed and vote, and get out to elections. #SAChat
