Getting a Strong Start to Your Academic Year
Faculty regularly engage with a wide variety of students while teaching, advising and mentoring. A number of factors can influence the success of this engagement for both faculty and students, including the learning and mentoring environments faculty create and the way they incorporate inclusive practices into their teaching, mentoring and assessment. Workshop participants will join their colleagues to discuss effective strategies and tools to create environments where their students can learn and thrive. Participants will also discuss ways to develop practices that prioritize their own wellness as they begin the work of a new academic year.
