Colleagues,
While the start of a new semester frequently brings a renewed energy and excitement, it is important that we not ignore the feelings of frustration and burnout that might begin to creep in towards the middle and end of the semester. Many of you have expressed concerns about burnout, and in response, the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) will be hosting Dr. Rebecca Pope-Ruark, author of “Agile Faculty” and “Unraveling Faculty Burnout” to visit with our faculty about Connecting as a Way Through Burnout and Building Vitality in Your Faculty Career. I hope that you’ll consider attending one or both of these sessions on Friday, January 27 in Downing Student Union (DSU) 3020. The descriptions and registration links are provided below. Special thanks to Micah Logan and Alicia Pennington for organizing this important event.
