| 3 pm — 5 pm | Workshop: Beyond Time Management Hosted by the Teaching Resource Center Jefferson Hall Graduate students and faculty members alike are perennially busy people. Teaching and research obligations can be difficult to manage by themselves, much less in conjunction with family-care, personal time, and all of those other tasks that life seems to require. How do you juggle your various commitments without losing your balance? This workshop invites you to evaluate your current relationship to time, reflect on your priorities, and draft a personal well-being plan for a life that is academically productive and personally satisfying. |
