The Center for Faculty Enrichment (CAFE) and the Civitae Core Curriculum Committee invite ALL faculty and staff to a full-day workshop focused on best practices for developing students into engaged members of the community. Beginning with the keynote address, participants will be invited to co-create a definition of civic learning that will be used as a framework for future discussions. Following the keynote, participants will choose concurrent sessions to attend and learn more about key concepts and skills related to teaching civic engagement. For faculty specifically engaged in the teaching of Longwood’s signature core curriculum program, Civitae, there will be opportunities to meet and discuss assessment and professional development pertinent to their courses.

FACULTY SEMESTER WIND-DOWN RECEPTION: MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU
May 4th from 4:00-6:00 in the CAFE Lounge (310 Allen Hall)
“Can I offer you a libation to celebrate the closing of our shared narrative?” A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… grades were submitted and meetings were done. End your semester a little early unwinding with your colleagues in a relaxed--out of this world-- atmosphere. Snacks and beverages will be provided. "This is the way."
FACULTY WELL-BEING LUNCH CHAT
April 25, 2023 from 12:30-1:30pm
Back by popular demand. Let’s continue the discussion. Finding and living a healthy life-work balance can be challenging and navigating the needs of others with our own can be stressful. Join your colleagues for an informal discussion about YOUR well-being including tips for how to be well. Brown bag lunch; CAFE will provide the drinks and dessert.
