Academic life can be frenetic and sometimes overwhelming. Could slowing down help us connect with our professional purpose? Join us for a 4-session book discussion on The Slow Professor: Challenging the Culture of Speed in the Academy (Berg & Seeber, 2016). This short book explores how embracing principles of the “slow” movement can create a more reflective, balanced, and meaningful academic environment. The authors also present ways of alleviating stress while improving teaching, research, and collegiality. Connect with fellow instructors and share ideas for slowing down in a fast-paced academic world.Dates: Sept. 23, Oct. 7, Oct. 21, & Nov. 4 Time: 12:30-1:45pm Location: In-Person, Tyler Hall, 225 Registration & More Information
