Faculty (Re)Engagement Institute

Have you seen a steady decline in faculty engagement over the last two years? You aren’t alone in answering “yes”. As we move beyond the pandemic, it’s time to reengage faculty and reestablish, rebuild, and restrengthen the longstanding connections they have had to their 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 ten barriers to engagement and offers numerous evidence-based solutions to overcome them that you can try in your own programs.

How Does This Virtual Workshop Work?

• This virtual workshop takes place in two 3-hour Zoom sessions with your presenters and fellow registrants. Multiple offerings are available so you can choose what works best for you and your schedule!
• Attendance is limited to the first 48 registrants to provide the most effective coaching experience possible.
• Virtual, synchronous learning gives you time to interact, learn, and ask questions of the presenter and other participants.
• The two-part presentation allows for reflection and application of workshop materials between sessions.
• A certificate of completion is awarded after completing the workshop.
