Haikus, Recipes and Tunes

Thank you to all who submitted their favorite stay-at-home recipes! They are linked to this message, and I look forward to trying a few in the next few weeks.

We’ve shared poems and recipes, and now, how about some music?

By Friday, send me the top five songs on your telework playlist, and I’ll make a NOVA Playlist on Spotify that we can share.

To kick it off, here are my top five:

• Harry Styles, “Fine Line”
• Prince, “Mary, Don’t You Weep”
• Sylvan Esso, “Rewind” (Echo Mountain Sessions)
• Solange, ”Mad”
• Vampire Weekend, ”Hannah Hunt”

Maybe you’re listening while grading, answering emails from students, working on a line of code to make a new support service possible, reviewing a policy, prepping a class, writing a letter of recommendation for an amazing Nighthawk or just decompressing from another Zoom.

So, I’m going to take presidential privilege and add one more song to my playlist: Earth, Wind and Fire, “Shining Star.” You are all shining so brightly at this moment—thank you!

I look forward to hearing from you!
