Getting started at Cornell and balancing all the responsibilities that come with being a new faculty member presents enormous opportunities as well as challenges. But you are not alone! Based on conversations with other faculty, we’ve created a discussion series designed to forge connections with your peers across campus, where you will:

ŸŸ• Explore your identity as a Cornell faculty member 
• Articulate who you are as teacher
• Consider how what you do in the classroom is connected with your identity and well-being
• Discuss strategies to achieve balance and well-being

We invite you to join in on these interactive conversations held on four Mondays in February (2/1, 2/8, 2/22 & 2/29, we are skipping 2/15 for the February Break) from 12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. If you would like to participate, we would ask you to commit to attending all four of the conversations. Lunch and drinks will be provided.

This program is made possible by a Bringing Theory to Practice Grant from the American Association of Colleges & Universities.
