Fall 2024 Schedule

Led by Jennifer Seagraves
Faculty & Staff Orientation

Join us for an engaging and interactive workshop designed for faculty and staff interested in connecting and learning from one another. Whether or not you've read the book Relationship-Rich Education, this session is open to all and offers a space to explore the meaningful relationships you create on campus.

Faculty and staff who read the book this summer were inspired by its examples and were eager to share their own experiences with one another. For example, in discussion about everyday mentoring we had examples from asking a student, "How are you?" to walking them across campus to connect with a resource, to flipping office hours to "student hours," our community has countless stories of fostering vibrant and rich relationships. For those faculty and staff who read this summer, this is your opportunity to share what takeaways, examples of other universities doing interesting work, and even share what changes you have made to your syllabus, classes, etc. that were inspired by this text.

Come ready to be active, learn, and share why relationships and the work you do matter. This workshop is an opportunity to reflect on your experiences, gain new insights, and celebrate the power of connections in our academic community. Let's learn from each other and continue building a supportive and vibrant campus culture!

Morgan Pajak will provide valuable insights into the integration of service learning principles within the academic curriculum, fostering a dynamic learning environment that extends beyond the confines of the classroom. Through an interactive and collaborative discussion, we will delve into innovative approaches for incorporating service learning into various disciplines, while also examining its profound impact on student engagement, community empowerment, and the cultivation of lifelong civic responsibility. Join us in this transformative endeavor as we collectively explore how to enrich the educational experience and empower our students to become active agents of positive change in their communities and beyond.
