We generated the name and concept for our new publication long before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we approach spring term. In many ways, I think it applies now more than ever. From snacking to stress-baking, am I the only one spending more time in the kitchen?<\/p>\n
Cooking and baking are, for me, an act in experimentation, sometimes planned and sometimes reactive and improvised. I\u2019m not alone here either. The media group America\u2019s Test Kitchen is known for the work they do testing recipes, cooking equipment, ingredients, and highlighting not just their results, but the process and learning along the way.<\/p>\n
The title of this publication, The Success Kitchen<\/em>, draws inspiration from that design. We at the Academic Success Center want to share with you some of the things we\u2019ve explored, learned , read about, developed, and implemented. We want to share successes and pass along the learning when things didn\u2019t work out as planned. And we want to spark conversations, highlight the work of others, and share collaborations that took us somewhere exciting\u2014all around the theme of student success at OSU.<\/p>\n So, this is our inaugural issue of The Success Kitchen<\/em>. We hope you\u2019ll enjoy what\u2019s to come, and we invite you to be a part of the process. If an article sparks an interest, please reach out and join the conversation. Consider partnering with us on a feature. Not to belabor the metaphor, but we\u2019re eager to share what we\u2019ve been up to in our \u201ckitchen\u201d and we want to know what you\u2019re cooking up too.<\/p>\n
