Center for Faculty Innovation

As we get ready to launch the Spring semester, let's take a moment to consider proactive strategies for designing care into the fabric of the semester ahead, for ourselves, our students, and others. Please join us for a workshop to support planning for the semester ahead, such as designing course content and learning materials and activities (such as syllabi and assignments); planning for scholarship and service; or any other element of faculty lives, with special attention to integrating care and well-being. This will be space for conversations with colleagues, community building, consultations with the CFI Wellness and Well-being team, quiet time for working on your syllabi or other priorities, exploring resources designed to support care, or any combination of the above that work for you.

Lunch is provided for in-person participants; to maximize access, we are offering the workshop as hybrid, so feel free to join virtually! Bring your questions, laptop, working materials, and whatever else you need for this workshop designed to support you in building care into the semester!
