FDIC Faculty Reading Groups

This Faculty Learning Community (FLC) will focus on an integral reading of Pope-Ruark's book and discuss and practice strategies for reckoning with burnout and renewing our work as faculty members. There will be an in-person reading group meeting on Tuesday mornings in the FDIC and a virtual reading group meeting on Zoom on Wednesday afternoons.

We will consider questions such as:

• What is the definition of burnout?
• What is particular about faculty burnout?
• What does burnout look like in our daily lives? And in our work?
•  What can we do to reckon our burnout and renew ourselves?

Enrollment includes a free copy of the book compliments of the FDIC as well as warm beverages, snacks, & good conversation. Limited to 10 participants in each group.
