Fall-2020-Academic-Retreat-Agenda<\/a>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

I want to call attention to an easily-overlooked line in our original message (see below):

\u201cWe will organize and add your suggestions as we are able to the agenda by Friday, September 18.<\/strong>\u201d

The Tuesday deadline is not a final deadline for having your ideas shape the Day Two and Day Three work, but exists simply to allow us to share a preliminary list of ideas on Thursday morning. If offering an idea before the Tuesday deadline would entail work in conflict with a day of furlough for you, be assured that you will have the opportunity to do offer your suggestions for full consideration on the first day of the retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Colleagues,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the planning group for the Fall 2020 Academic Retreat, I\u2019d like to share with you some information about our plans. In order to limit Zoom fatigue, this year\u2019s retreat will be spread across three days (Please look over the attached agenda for details!).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday,<\/strong>\nSeptember 17 <\/strong>will be a longer day (10:00 AM \u2013 3:30 PM) with the overall\nintent of sharing information and catching up with one another.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On\nthe second day of the retreat, Monday, September 21 <\/strong>(1:00-5:00 PM),\nthere will be a chance for smaller groups of people to meet on topical\nissues in two parallel 75-minute sessions (think of this days as a\nmini-conference). We have a few of these planned already and invite\nparticipants to submit their ideas for these \u201cchoice group\u201d sessions. Please\nsubmit your \u201cchoice group\u201d ideas to John Caraher (caraherj@evergreen.edu<\/a>) by 5:00pm on Tuesday, September 16. <\/strong>For\nexample, a topic might be discussion of significant learning\nfrom summer institutes. If you are proposing a session, you will need to\nidentify a facilitator. We will contact all facilitators to coordinate setting\nup Zooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nthird day, Wednesday, September 23 <\/strong>(1:00-5:00 PM), is for faculty\nto come together around program planning, finding teaching partners, and\nhaving discussions. The first session will focus on program\nplanning. For the second session, we want to foster discussion spaces\nwhere people can meet prospective teaching partners (and at the very least,\nmeet with people you don\u2019t know very well). If you have ideas for areas that\nyou might be interested in teaching, and you would like us to set up a thematic\ngroup on that topic, please submit your ideas to John Caraher. If you are fine\nwith a random group to come up with a dream program, or just learn more about\none another\u2019s work, that\u2019s fine too. For these suggestions as well, please\nsubmit by 5:00pm on Tuesday, September 16.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nwill organize and add your suggestions as we are able to the agenda by Friday,\nSeptember 18.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look\nforward to seeing you (if only \u201cvirtually\u201d) soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
