Laura Miller: admin assistant by day. Secret agent by night?
Not exactly. But close! For the past few years, Laura Miller has been quietly starting a movement to provide random acts of kindness. And now, it’s grown to include a network of over 80 “Affiliated Agents” in the US and abroad.

These random acts of kindness are all done on an administrative assistant’s salary, so we’re not talking anything overly grandiose here. But, simple is good. A $5 Starbucks gift card tucked under a windshield wiper or a roll of quarters left in a laundromat. Each left with a business card so the person knows they’ve just been the recipient of a random act of kindness.

Read the full story here. Better yet, live the story. Take your lunch hour today to create a random act of kindness somewhere on your campus. I bet the folks in charge of international students could use a small pick-me-up this week. Maybe you know an adjunct faculty that doesn’t quite feel like part of the campus community.

Do it! And remember, don’t let anyone find out that it was you! It’s what a good secret agent would do.
