Carpentries Clippings, 15 December

Gratitude of the Week

This is our final edition of Carpentries Clippings in 2022, so we want to take a moment to thank you all for reading and subscribing to our newsletter.

Additionally, as you are reflecting on 2022, we have some new avenues for you to share your own gratitudes including posting them to this space in our newsletter. Learn more about this and other avenues in this blog post

Gratitude from the Workshop Administration Team

The Workshop Administration Team would like to give a HUGE thank you to our Instructors for all of the work that has been done this year.

We faced some heavy challenges in 2022 as we worked through the many changes that came out of 2021. An incredible number of Instructors stepped up to help us through these challenges. From supporting workshops to giving us feedback, we could not have accomplished what we did this year without you!

We know we have asked for a lot out of you this year, but please know that we have also learned so much. For 2023, it is our goal to find better ways to support and guide the Instructor community and lessen the pressure that was placed on you this year. We hope that you have a wonderful end to 2022, and can't wait for what is to come in 2023!!
