Commonwealth Honors College Events Hall

Gather with colleagues to enjoy a delicious lunch, pause, and connect through small group discussion. Inspired by Rebecca Pope-Ruark’s book Unraveling Faculty Burnout: Pathways to Reckoning and Renewal, we’ll discuss four themes that shape our work: origins and inspiration, purpose and meaning, balance and connection, and compassion and care. To conclude the event, Lena Fletcher, co-leader of the Contemplative Pedagogy Working Group, will guide us in a loving-kindness meditation. 

Facilitators: 

  • Lena Fletcher, Senior Lecturer II, Department of Environmental Conservation 
  • Jason Hooper, Senior Fellow and Associate Director, Office of Faculty Development, Senior Lecturer II, Department of Music and Dance
