I hope you had time to relax and enjoy some time away from work and can take a minute to review this abbreviated newsletter. For those of you who taught a class in the J-Session, thank you for piloting this for the campus. I would love to hear about your experiences via email or over a cup of coffee.
In December, CFE spent some time chatting with people across campus over a cup of coffee or cider. You told us you wanted more support related to trauma-informed practices. A comprehensive plan is in the works, but to support you as you begin the new semester, plan to attend one of our panel discussions (January 20th at 10 am or January 24th at 2 pm) on responding to student trauma and dealing with compassion fatigue. You also told us you wanted more retention-related conversations specific to large classes. We did that. Check out the information in the retention section.
I hope you join CFE in some of our spring opportunities. You can find more information about upcoming offerings via the CFE website using the search box function found on the top left of the calendar.
