Description: Recharge your summer with focused, community-driven productivity! Join us for a weekly series designed to help you prepare, write, and create with purpose. Whether you’re prepping for fall, pushing forward on a manuscript, or mapping out your next big research project, we’re here to help you stay accountable, energized, and connected.
- Teaching Prep Tuesdays: Get ahead on your fall teaching plans in a supportive and collaborative space. Bring your syllabus drafts, course ideas, assignments, or just a to-do list. We’ll provide structure, accountability, and optional prompts to keep your prep on track—plus plenty of coffee and camaraderie.
- Writing Wednesdays: Set aside dedicated time to write—whether it’s articles, grant proposals, book chapters, or reflective pieces. Each session begins with a quick check-in and goal-setting round, followed by uninterrupted writing time and an optional group share at the end. Write with us, and watch your word count grow.
- ThoughtCraft Thursdays: Build momentum on your research program with sessions dedicated to idea generation, experiment design, data analysis, and strategic planning. Whether you're sketching out a new study or making sense of data, these mornings are about moving your research forward—one crafted idea at a time. An Office of Research and Projects team member will be available July 10, 17, 24, 31, August 7, and 14.
Come to one, come to all—just come ready to focus and make progress.
Coffee, light snacks, and a supportive faculty community await. Let’s make this summer count. Summer Faculty Productivity Series
