Upcoming Events

This experiential workshop is designed for assistant and associate deans navigating the complexities of academic leadership. Together we will explore practices for preparing ourselves internally to approach difficult conversations and conflicts between individuals and groups with clarity and steadiness, even when tensions run high. Through restorative frameworks and hands-on practice, participants will develop practical skills to de-escalate, manage, mediate and transform conflict in moments when patience and perspective may be most difficult to access.

Write in community with your colleagues wherever you are during the winter break! This semester break’s Write Where You Ares give you the opportunity to get a jumpstart on your research and writing for the semester. 

Join a supportive community of eligible non-tenure-track faculty who are preparing their portfolio for continuous appointment or promotion. This is an opportunity to share goals, ask questions, dedicate time to the writing process, and celebrate progress. This January three online sessions to write in community with other faculty, from wherever you may be, will lead to the in-person Winter Writing Retreat and a dedicated afternoon breakout session on Thursday, January 22.

Come join your colleagues for OFD’s pre-semester Spring Into Writing Retreat! At the request of many of you, we will hold a scaled down writing retreat just before the semester begins to give you the opportunity to start the semester off right with momentum on a writing project.

On the same day as the Writing Retreat, early faculty are invited to join us for a discussion around finding funding with Director of Research Development, Loren Walker and Director of Faculty Development, Leyla Keough-Hameed!
 

This workshop will facilitate learning current best practices in academic mentoring, building on training developed by the National Research Mentoring Network, through the examination of case studies, group work, and reflection exercises. Lunch will be provided.
