Sessions For: Ofc Provost & Exec VP Acad Aff

Sign up for a two-hour work session, followed by a hot lunch with colleagues. The Faculty On-Campus Work Retreats offer 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. Lunch, after the work session, is 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 ~7,600 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 Faculty Senate Office invites you to meet the 2026 candidates for the U-M Board of Regents. Candidates will present their qualifications, articulate their vision for the University, and respond to questions. The election of members to the Board of Regents significantly impacts the governance of the University. The Regent Candidate Forum promotes civic engagement, informed decision-making, and transparency, and encourages elected Regents to be representative of and responsive to the needs of the community they serve.

Socialize with your faculty colleagues and visit the University’s famous Kelsey Museum of Archaeology during our annual Faculty Mixer event. Snacks and drinks will be served, and the museum will be open for perusing!
