CTL Writing Retreat
January 10, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm EST
RSVP today for the Inaugural Writing Retreat–part of the CTL Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) initiative
Open to ALL members of the Baruch community: full-time and part-time faculty, graduate students, and staff
The 2018-23 Baruch College Strategic Plan highlights the value of research in enriching the classroom experience for both teachers and students, and pledges to support innovative research, scholarship, and creative inquiry at the College. In the spirit of this pledge, the Center for Teaching and Learning will offer a two-day writing retreat for members of the Baruch community to focus on their research, writing, and creative work in a collegial environment.
On January 9 and 10, the CTL will provide a quiet space to write; a nourishing lunch; a separate space to take breaks, network, and eat; and outlets for charging devices. Participants will get dedicated time over one or two full days to work in a distraction-free, collegial environment. Each afternoon after lunch, there will be an optional breakout activity related to writing, such as combating writer’s block or soliciting and giving feedback, that participants may find useful in their own work as well as in the classroom.
Jump start that new chapter, write that book proposal, or finish editing that article that has been languishing on your desktop. Give yourself the gift of time to write.
Please RSVP by January 2, 2019 here.
