But, what does this actually look like in the everyday professional life? For me, it is not so much about what we say, but more about what we do. While it is important to articulate clearly and reflect on what we believe and how we express it in voice or writing, it is our actions over time that reveal the most. I have taught and been an administrator as a part of the Center for Diné Teacher Education. I worked with others to achieve the first independently HLC-approved bachelor degree. I currently teach composition courses, and do administrative work to support English writing and the College as a whole. Over the years, I have successfully brought in more than $5 million through grants. I have served as Chair of the English department, and many committees and task forces (Curriculum, Distance Education, General Education, HLC, etc.) I stepped up when asked to be Interim Vice-President of Academics for a year. In AY1920, I am Chair of Distance Education Committee while teaching a full faculty load (5 courses), and developing a degree program in Professional Writing.Jesse T. Maloney, Assistant Professor
