As we emerge from the pandemic, we have an opportunity to collectively learn from each others’ experiences to create the best possible “Next Normal.” Join your colleagues to reflect on the past year and discuss how the lessons learned will impact your instructional practices.

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!

The syllabus is often a student’s first introduction to a course and to you as the instructor.  It is an opportunity to engage students in the class right from the very start.  In this session, we’ll discuss the purposes of a syllabus, examine the impact of language and tone, and critique sample syllabi.
