" The Big Return "
" As you're preparing for the arrival of your baby and are thinking through how much time to take off,
I encourage you to unapologetically take as much time as you are able. For me, that was 12 weeks
and it felt like just the right amount of time for me. Taking this time off is not only a benefit for you
and your baby to bond but also for you to take a well-deserved mental break from work. This does
not go without concerns. I personally was worried about being able to afford taking that amount
of time off. Additionally, I had anxiety about catching up on everything I would miss and how I'd
balance returning to work with a child. "
Kimberly Bradley
Assistant Director of Residence Life/ Mother of One

" I made the decision to pump with both of my children. As such, establishing boundaries is so
important for both your supply and your health (hello clogged ducts!) Put that time on your calendar
and treat it like you would any other meeting. And don't let folks push you into virtual meetings
while you pump.
With my second birth (Josie, December 2020), I took eight weeks off work. My direct reports
were so amazing during this time. They protected my time away and ensured that I had time to
heal, " rest " , and bond with Josie. This was able to happen because we talked tirelessly about
responsibilities, and who would take on what as I prepared for leave. We began conversations and
training in October. We developed a chart of responsibilities, and a 'who else on campus can help'
plan.
You're going to feel out of it for the first few weeks. I sure did. I was in a presentation the first
day back, and I could literally not find the words. Brain fog. Ask for grace. Tell folks you're just
getting back in spaces you are comfortable with. It will start to come back to you over the next few
months. "

Interim Director of Housing & Residence Life/ Mother of Two
