Sign up for a two-hour work session, with a hot lunch with colleagues! The Faculty On-Campus Work Retreats provide a quiet space to work with other scholars and artists, and an opportunity for you to prioritize your research and creative work by committing to one or two work sessions before teaching, service, and email take over the semester.
There are both morning and afternoon sessions available. Morning sessions also offer the option of coming early to enjoy an extended three-hour session. Breakfast snacks, coffee, and tea will be provided.
During the lunch provided at each work session, there will be a chance to share interests and work with other colleagues, to learn about each others’ research, to grow professional and social networks, and to experience the University as a collective.
The Work Retreats are open to all ~7,800 members of the Faculty Senate, including tenure-track professors, lecturers, research faculty, clinical faculty, librarians, archivists, and curators. The series was developed by the Faculty Senate Office, is supported by the Office of the Provost, and is co-sponsored by Librarian Mary Lawrence. The event page is here.
