"I Am..." Speaker Series
āā¦ I am convinced that men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they donāt know each other, and they donāt know each other because they donāt communicate with each other, and they donāt communicate with each other because they are separated from each other.ā
ā Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, on Oct. 15, 1962

By sharing them, we break down barriers that divide us. No matter what labels are assigned to us, and no matter what ideals we may hold, we are all a shared humanity that is, as Dr. King said, ātied to a single garment of destiny.ā
I Am... Joy Shytle
Joy Shytle, Associate Professor of Instruction in Social Work, discusses her dissertation research connecting feelings of imposter syndrome in post-secondary faculty and their experiences as twice exceptional (2e) students (gifted and with a disability). Struggling with undiagnosed ADD but testing as gifted, Joy was often told she failed to reach her potential, resulting in problems in the classroom and at home. Joy shares how her journey as a 2e kid shaped her educational experience, sense of self and path to academia.
