CAFE PROGRAM

MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU: A FACULTY RECEPTION
Date: Thursday, May 2^nd 5-6:30pm
Location: Allen 310 Faculty Lounge As your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate, we invite you to celebrate the end of the semester with CAFE’s 2^nd annual Star Wars Spaceballs-themed reception (May the 4^th is a Saturday…what could we do?). To ensure a good time is had by all, our staff are combing the desert to find themed snacks, drinks, and music. So please join us for some fun refreshments, conversation, and to catch some of Mel Brooks’ 1987 classic (showing in Allen 308). Oh, and come as you are; no need to wear plaid. 

CAFE AND QEP ADVISORY COMMITTEE COLLABORATION

11TH ANNUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING INSTITUTE 2024: CONSIDER LIFE DESIGN

Where: Blackwell Hall
Registration is open @ https://forms.gle/NFVQCnUpLhcvtSb69 . Registration will close on May 6.

60 FACULTY AND STAFF REGISTERED ALREADY!

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 13^th, 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 10^th.  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.
