An Abundant Systems Framework in Higher Education

[image error]

Athletic Training and Nursing students learn together in an IPE simulation at ACU.

An Abundant Systems mindset is about looking for connectedness. I like to think about this in terms of looking for opportunities to expand networks and ask questions that connect rather than compete. Questions like, in what ways do the goals of my University/College/Department align with the goal

Jennifer’s Quotes

“It was all unknown to me then, as I sat on that white bench on the day I finished my hike. Everything except the fact that I didn't have to know. That is was enough to trust that what I'd done was true. To understand its meaning without yet being able to say precisely what it was, like all those lines from The Dream of a Common Language that had run through my nights and days. To believe that I didn't need to reach with my bare hands anymore. To know that seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water was enough. That it was everything. It was my life - like all lives, mysterious and irrevocable and sacred. So very close, so very present, so very belonging to me.
How wild it was, to let it be.”
― Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
