In the world of academia, we write all the time for varying purposes and audiences. But how often do you write for yourself? In what ways might writing be used for your own mental fitness? Is it possible for your workplace writing to take you beyond the confines of an often rigid, professional space? Join us for a thoughtful discussion about Y-O-U, and we’ll think together about engaging in some much needed self-care through an exercise you’re already good at.

As we complete the first quarter of our semester, faculty have heard from both new and returning students that they are experiencing challenges with learning during a pandemic. Faculty report atypical student learning behaviors and/or they are encountering more students who are less prepared. How can we meet students where they are while simultaneously nudging them forward? Please join us for a strategy-based session; the first hour of the session will focus on targeted strategies and the last 20-30 minutes will be small group discussions of how best to put the strategies into motion. When you register, please share what atypical or different student learning experiences you are encountering this fall. We’ll use that data to plan the session.
