Dear Readers,
“Resume” is a word whose meaning shifts with its accent. The verb comes from Latin “resumere,” which is “to take up again,” while the noun “résumé” came through French by way of the Latin “resumer,” meaning “to sum up.” These meanings feel applicable at the start of another fall semester. For some, it is quite literally resuming specific operations after spring and summer to restart an enrollment cycle, study or update routines, and revisit goals temporarily set aside. But it can also be a chance to reconsider the résumé—the story we tell about where we have been and what we have accomplished. Sometimes a small change in accent changes how a word is understood. A new season gives us the same opportunity to shift the emphasis and resume our work with a slightly altered mindset or approach.
