Teaching and learning can be lonely endeavors, yet research has long pointed to the positive impact of relationships on both our wellness and academic aspirations. This talk, presented by Dr. Isis Artze-Vega, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Valencia College, will invite faculty to reflect on their own connections, describe the benefits of cultivating and strengthening their relationships, and suggest straightforward ways to rekindle joy and purpose. It will also share insights from Connections Are Everything: A College Student’s Guide to Relationship-Rich Education with which faculty can help students cultivate their own joyful relationships.

This event is open to all University of Mississippi-affiliated faculty/staff and graduate students.

Lunch will be provided for registered participants.

Please register by September 16.
