12-15-25 Newsletter
My colleagues and I in the Faculty Hub get to see—up close and every day — the creativity and care that UR faculty put into their teaching and scholarship. We are also well aware of the energy your work requires, especially in these final weeks. As we wrap up this semester, we hope the coming break offers you some time to rest and recharge. In recognition of the fact that each of you might be in a different headspace as the semester comes to a close, I thought I'd offer a choose-your-own-adventure prompt for my recommendations below. Sending you best wishes for the coming break, the end of 2025, and the beginning of the new year. See you in January!

If you want to reflect… Answer these questions for your current and future self: What did you learn this semester? What worked especially well this fall? What do you want to tweak or try differently? Any deadlines or logistics you shouldn’t forget?
