| The Faculty Hub Welcome Back Breakfast |
| |
| On Wednesday, August 24, please join us for our Welcome Back Breakfast for a bit of back-to-school sustenance. We'll have goodies from Sub Rosa Bakery and fancy coffee to keep you going during the first week of classes. Feel free to drop by the Faculty Hub anytime between 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. (and if you can, join us for Morning Blend from 9:30-10:00 a.m.). This is a great chance to reconnect with or meet your colleagues as well as the members of Faculty Hub team--Andrew Bell, Kylie Korsnack, Jane Bise, and incoming director Kitty Maynard. |

| Teaching That Takes Your Well-Being Into Account |
| |
We recognize that the past few years have brought many challenges and changes in our teaching. Through these challenges, we have also learned some ways to design our courses to make them more manageable in the long term. This document offers some of the most useful tips that we’ve found thus far.
Many of the Faculty Hub programs (including the Morning Blend programs below) are intended to help you make the most of your valuable time and align your time with your priorities. Check out Time-Saving Effective Grading Workflow Strategies on August 23-24, Citation Management on September 13-14, and Boundary Setting on September 21. |

 |
| |
| A Fast and Flexible Way to Start a Busy Day |
| |
What is Morning Blend? It’s a program created with you in mind. First, it’s fast—the entire program lasts just 30 minutes. Second, Morning Blend is multi-modal to fit your schedule.
Best of all, each session is packed full of useful information and ideas for your teaching, scholarship, and career.
If you have 15-30 minutes: you can attend a session in person (in the Faculty Hub on Wednesdays from 9:30-10:00 a.m.) or take advantage of the synchronous Zoom session (Tuesdays from 9:30-10:00 a.m.). You can stay for as little or as long as you like.
If you have 10-15 minutes: you can watch the video recording of the presentation part of the program after the event.
If you have even less than 10 minutes: you can skim the tip sheet created for each session.
Want to get some ideas for the first day of class? Check out this week's Morning Blend by Educational Developer, Kylie Korsnack (recording & tip sheet).
