Confluence, a series for mid-career faculty

The Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence (CAFE), under the Office of Faculty Success, is excited to share an opportunity for mid-career faculty. The new series Confluence is dedicated to building connections and fostering peer-to-peer conversations focusing on the unique opportunities and challenges that mid-career faculty face.

Confluence is part of CAFE's goal to offer professional development and support for faculty in all stages of their careers.

The series will be Tuesdays, Jan. 28 - April 1, from 1 - 2:15 p.m. in LIB 211M and on Zoom. CAFE encourages faculty members to review the conference schedule and register to attend. Faculty can attend whichever sessions interest them, and do not need to attend all of them. More details on specific sessions are available on the full Confluence schedule.

The series will have three 3-week blocks, each one about a new topic. This year's topics will be:

• Establishing a sustained record of excellence in teaching without IDEA
• Implementing highly valued practices in teaching
• Managing burnout and mid-career trajectory
