Happy New Year! As we welcome 2026, what are your thoughts? What are you reflecting on? What are you hoping for in 2026? Are you creating new year’s resolution, well-being goals or reviewing life hacks? Are you considering how you can maintain healthy work-life boundaries and relationships? Thoughts can be powerful and leading. I encourage you to pause and think about what you are thinking about. Approach this new year with intention and grace. Take it one day, week and month at a time.
The Office for Faculty Advancement is operating a number of workshops to help support faculty promotion preparation and success. Register for sessions here.
