Is faculty engagement declining on your campus?

You aren’t alone in answering “yes”. When faculty experience technology-induced cognitive overload, set boundaries related to stress and overwork, or “quiet quit” it’s noticeable. How can you reengage faculty and establish, build, and strengthen the connections to the institutions beyond their students and classrooms?

In this live two-part virtual workshop, your presenters, Russell Carpenter, Eastern Kentucky University and Kevin Dvorak, Nova Southeastern University, will examine seven barriers to faculty engagement and offer numerous evidence-based solutions that you can try in your own programs. As a group, you’ll build a Faculty Engagement Matrix to identify engagement barriers, their impacts, and approaches to addressing them in a productive and rewarding way.

Take away proven strategies from experts! Your presenters also serve as the editor-in-chief and senior editor for the Journal of Faculty Development. Their contributions to the September 2022 special section on Faculty (Re)Engagement have garnered significant attention, offering valuable insights into effectively engaging faculty in both online and in-person teaching, and their work is widely acclaimed.

“Such an enjoyable workshop. Good to know we are not alone regarding this subject!”
Dr. Heather M. BrownInstructional Designer, Tidewater Community College
“The matrix was really helpful, and helped me come up with some ideas and solutions I wouldn’t have otherwise. It was also really great to get to exchange ideas and learn some strategies that have already worked well from Russell.”
