Work Sprint
Do you need to set aside time to work on research? Or do you have other work you need to complete? If so, sign-up to participate in the Work Sprint! A Work Sprint provides a focused block of time and supportive environment for you to accomplish a task-specific goal.
Faculty Book Club
In a book written by and for college teachers, Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy provide tips and advice on how to make all students feel welcome and included. They begin with a framework describing why explicit attention to structure enhances inclusiveness in both course design and interactions with and between students. Inclusive Teaching then provides practical ways to include more voices in a series of contexts: when giving instructions for group work and class activities, holding office hours, communicating with students, and more. The authors finish with an opportunity for the reader to reflect on what evidence to include in a teaching dossier that demonstrates inclusive practices.
Writing Retreat
A Writing Retreat provides a focused block of time and supportive environment for you to commit to and have some level of accountability for accomplishing a research goal. There will be no planned programming, instead it will be a time for you to focus on your research/writing goals and hopefully be very productive! There will be three offerings this semester with all being offered virtually. A link to the event will be sent after registration.
