Date: Monday, September 9th 2024
Time: 5:00-6:00pm (AT) / 4:00-5:00pm (ET) / 1:00-2:00pm (PT)
Session Description:
Come join our very own Dr. Sofia Georgiadou (Yorkville University) and Dr. Katrina McChesney (University of Waikato) for their chapter on supporting faculty wellness during times of change.
Sofia and Katrina will share frameworks (drawn from the authors’ national contexts) for workplace wellbeing, all of which highlight the need for holistic, transformative approaches from those in positions of leadership. They will also share practical strategies, policies, and programming that higher education leaders can initiate now to promote faculty wellbeing within a transformative orientation, considering protection from harm, connection and community, work-life harmony, mattering at work, and opportunities for growth.
