Positives:

camaraderie

'grown up within myself'

special networked/small community / safe environment to explore issues

confidence in a new role (identity, voice, impact)

Being 4 hours away from nearest AP college; small campus with three others,

Network of support which was removed from a locality / political environment

Helped understand my own values and standing up for them and doing work that aligns with them and calling out when I'm being asked to work in aspects that are not aligned to those values

Despite being busy people, but the strong contacts, are solid

Strength not to internalise / absorb negative experiences and by so doing, establish healthy working relationships and work within a university context.

Confidence to articulate my ambition (even to myself - helped by mentoring)

Negatives:

Recognition and respect

Awareness of the programme within my own academic partner college

Out of sight, out of mind ... wrote about the experience and shared experience in immediate campus but the response has not necessarily been positive

Those with teaching commitment s.....

If you have any time, I'd recommend you have a look at this recording of a webinar I attended recently.  The start is a bit messy (he presents from a park!) but this shouldn't detract from his messages which resonated with me.
