If you plan to attend the pre-conference session on October 3rd (and we hope that you do!) our speaker has asked that you do a little bit of homework in advance so that you can get the most out of the session.
From Jim Hayes:
Why do you do what you do? Are you satisfied with your work? Does what you do matter? Finding your rhythm isn’t an accident. It takes work to explore our personal and communal calling. This workshop will provide space to revisit how and why we became involved in higher education, along with exercises and conversation to explore how we can keep that original fire burning throughout our career.
