The past couple of weeks, I've been enjoying the annual bloom of one of my favorite trees, the Eastern Redbud. While you can see their pink flowers almost anywhere in Virginia this time of year, they thrive best as an understory tree, drawing nourishment from the slivers of light that filter through the forest canopy. As we enter into this busy season in challenging times, I hope you’re also finding some slivers of light where you can. Here in the Faculty Hub, we've planned a variety of end-of-semester events to help you finish the year strong and prepare for the summer months. You can take a look at the full agenda of upcoming events here. Finally, please help us recognize your hard work at UR during our Faculty Appreciation Days on April 22 and 23. I invite you to sign up on the registration page, and let us know there if you would like a boxed lunch and/or a chair massage. - Kitty

Designing great assignments for group projects is not easy. How can we set up the groups to be successful? How do we ensure that all students participate equally in the group's work? These questions and more are addressed by the University of Minnesota's terrific Faculty Guide to Team Projects.
