Please join the CTE staff for our Winter Institute as we welcome renowned educator, speaker, and author of the book “Unraveling Faculty Burnout: Pathways to Reckoning and Renewal”, Dr. Rebecca Pope-Ruark. In her book, Dr. Pope-Ruark mines her own burnout experience as well as the experiences of other academic women to understand what about the culture of academia leads to burnout and how we can build burnout resilience over time.
In this workshop, we will:
- Explore the definition and characteristics of burnout and how to identify them in yourself and your colleagues
- Reflect on the ways focusing on Purpose and Connection can help us build burnout resilience
- Define strategies that can be used individually and collectively to address the cultural elements that lead to burnout.
The Winter Institute will take place on Tuesday, January 10th from 1:00 – 3:30 PM. This year, you have the option of joining us in the CTE Conference Room (L-2135) with a small group of colleagues (up to 16) for the livestream or you can join us from home.
