The message of resilience is often reduced to “try harder.” It also assumes that our baseline conditions are a state to which we should always return after recovering from whatever disruptions we are facing. We are trying to “bounce back” to the way things were before. A broader understanding of resilience invites us to recover but also to challenge and grow beyond our previous level of functioning.

The Graduate School invites doctoral students, MMs, MFAs, and postdocs interested in joining the 2025 Certification of College Teaching Institute (May 7 and May 8 ) to attend the Information Session which will give an introduction on how to acquire your Certification in College Teaching and what you can do now to start preparing. 

At this information session you will receive an introduction, and all the information you need to register for the CCT Institute to fulfill several workshop requirements. 

Short days, cold weather, and packed schedules can take a toll on our mood and motivation. It’s unfortunately common to feel more tired, disconnected, or unmotivated while our workload remains high. In this interactive session, we’ll look at how seasonal changes impact well-being and functioning, and what you can do about it. 

Participants will leave with realistic strategies to manage energy, sustain motivation, and lead yourselves effectively through the toughest months of the year. Virtual only, open to all graduate and professional students.

This hybrid workshop for faculty will help participants with course design and assessment in the era of artificial intelligence.

As educators, we are continuously learning and improving our teaching practices. This continuous improvement relies on feedback. In this session, we will share ways instructors can collect feedback from students about teaching. Furthermore, you will learn about how you will get your Student Perceptions of Learning Survey (SPLS) feedback at the end of the semester. You will walk away with an example for collecting feedback during the semester and discuss how to use this feedback for effective instruction.

In this session, participants will explore several educational technology tools and strategies to engage students in learning. Attendees will take away a list of tools ready for immediate use.
