February 2022 FRN Special Session: Faculty Well-Being Brain Trust (Virtual)
Faculty development is a caring profession and our roles as faculty developers are changing in the face of a global coronavirus pandemic. We are deeply committed to fostering environments where faculty thrive and thus, in learning what faculty need to sustain their work. We all have thoughts and concerns about this sustained engagement with loss — a raging pandemic, balancing life and livelihood, civil unrest, economic instability, increased emotional labor, isolation, caring for others, new teaching delivery methods for some, and more. Thankfully, there may be some light at the end of this long tunnel.

As requested during the FRN National Symposium, we will begin to host a monthly braintrust for faculty to connect, listen, and support each other through this unprecedented and uncertain time. These sessions will offer an opportunity for crowd-sourcing and community-building by engaging in the act of deep listening as we share practices in our roles as well as thoughts and feelings about our roles. The facilitated circle practice uses a three-prompt protocol in which each participant takes one turn (or passes) to respond to a prompt and to listen closely to others.

Moving forward, we will have a faculty well-being brain trust the second Friday of every month at noon EST provided there is continued interest and participation. Our second session will be on Friday, February 11, 2022, noon–1pm EST (NYC time) led by Dr. Rosalie Richards. Registration for this special virtual session will close on Friday, February 11, 2022, 1pm EST. We look forward to your participation!
