The Center for Faculty Enrichment (CAFE) and the Quality Enhancement Plan Advisory Board invite ALL faculty and staff to discover life design, a framework of the new Post-Graduate Success Initiative QEP.
On Monday, May 13th, Institute participants will explore ways to implement Life Design in the varied contexts of work with students, including 1:1 mentoring and advising, small and large group co-curricular support, and teaching in Civitae and in academic majors. The schedule will include a keynote, concurrent learning sessions, implementation work sessions, and a celebratory reception to end the day. By the end of the Institute, all participants should be ready to prototype activities and discussions that help students consider their life design.
Designing Your Life Virtual Event
All are invited to also attend a pre-Institute virtual event on Friday, May 10th. Inspired by Stanford’s Life Design Studio, participants will immerse themselves in life design as students, applying life design to their own life and vocational wayfinding.

Join CAFE to plan your summer. We’ll follow Kerry Anne Rockquemore’s process for crafting a summer schedule to meet all of our needs, both for work and home. You’ll have time to reflect on the past year, brainstorm a list of projects, and then to schedule your work and your relaxation. The event is hosted both on line and in person, and all faculty and staff are welcome.

This session is designated for all tenure-track faculty, librarians, as well as continuing clinical educators and lecturers. To start the workshop, we’ll briefly go over the requirements of a portfolio, discuss the various audiences that will be reading your portfolio, and then look at an example. The rest of the time will be dedicated to working on your own documents in community using the Pomodoro technique. CAFE provides space, snacks, and stress-relieve items. Additionally, a CAFE staff member will be present to consult if participants would like to discuss their writing, formatting, or to work past other obstacles to completion of their work.
Please send to all faculty and staff. TY!
