“There was a time when commonplace books were a popular way for civilized men and women to record striking passages they found in their reading. Who can forget the electrifying effect that some thoughts have on us when we encounter them for the first time? The commonplace book is a way of memorializing those striking passages so that one can return to them for renewed inspiration.” ~ from “The Commonplace Book,” by W. Frederick Zimmerman
A Commonplace Book for Advisors was created for academic advisors and other educators who are looking for sources of inspiration, reflection, and support for themselves and for their students. It is intended to be a permanent repository of contributions from advisors everywhere so that we, as educators, can share with each other the found “wisdom of the ages” as it pertains to our professional and personal lives.
