Speed Dating the Brookside Institute (FAll 2015 Edition)

In just a few weeks, Fall 2015 Institute classes will begin.  (Woo hoo!)

The start of a semester always gives me lots of great opportunities to (re)introduce people to the Brookside Institute - what the Brookside Institute is, values that guide us, etc.  As part of that, once or twice a year I compile a handful (or two) of links - most of them blog posts - that relate to these sorts of questions and topics.

Consider it "speed dating" the Institute - learning a lot about what we do and what we're about in a short amount of time!  Happy reading!
