From March Madness hot takes and overrated things to FERPA, advising, and finding balance in higher ed life, this episode of The Pickup Meeting has a little bit of everything. Kevin and Brody welcome Dr. Rebecca Hapes, Associate Registrar at Texas A&M University, for a lively conversation about her journey from academic advising to the registrar’s office, the hidden complexity of higher education systems, and the messy art of doing meaningful work without losing yourself in the process. Along the way, they swap stories about burnout, purpose, progress, Aggie football, and yes, even top cereal rankings. It’s thoughtful, funny, and packed with wisdom for anyone working to support students while keeping their own humanity intact.
