One of our favorite events of the year is coming up in early April—our annual Celebration of Teaching. We hope that you’ll join us to share your teaching successes from the academic year and to get inspiration and insights from your colleagues. The event will take place in the Faculty Hub (3rd Floor of Boatwright Library) on Tuesday, April 4 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and is open to faculty and instructional staff. At 3:45 p.m., President Hallock and Provost Legro will provide welcoming remarks, and opportunities to visit and celebrate with colleagues will follow. Please RSVP to let us know that you’re planning to join us, and please indicate if you have teaching materials/outcomes you wish to share at the event.

Here at the Faculty Hub, we have several upcoming events to support you as teacher-scholars. We hope you can join us! If you have any additional suggestions for how we can support you, please send us your thoughts at facultyhub@richmond.edu.
Already February?!?
We here at the Faculty Hub hope that your semester is off to a good start. It is hard to believe January flew by so fast!
Please read on to learn more about our February events which cover a number of topics–mid-semester feedback, ChatGPT, alternative grading, courageous conversations, reclaiming joy, and much more! To see all of the events at a glance, we invite you to consult our Events page. In addition, please free to schedule a one-on-one consultation with us at any point if you have any specific topics you’d like to discuss.
Opportunities for Faculty
We hope the semester is off to a good start for you. Now that classes are in full swing, we thought it might be a good time to revisit one of our Morning Blend videos from last semester: Healthy Boundaries with Students by Dr. Laura Knouse. Dr. Knouse shares some research and some pointers that might help you find some balance during a busy spring semester.
Below, we’ve shared information about some ongoing and upcoming programs designed to support you with your teaching and scholarship in the coming months. You can find a complete list of upcoming events on our Events Page. We also invite you to reach out for a one-on-one consultation with us at any point if you have any specific topics you’d like to discuss.
Greetings and Welcome Back!
We hope that you were able to find some time to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family over the break. As you ease yourself back into the pace of the semester, we invite you to join us for some events this week, all designed to get the spring semester off to a good start. And, if you have something specific to your teaching or scholarship that you’d like to explore in more depth, know that the Faculty Hub staff is always available to meet for one-on-one consultations anytime. Please feel free to send us an email (facultyhub@richmond.edu), and we’ll find a time to meet at your convenience.
In addition to this week’s events, we invite you to our Welcome Back Breakfast next week on Wednesday, January 11 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. here in the Faculty Hub on the 3rd Floor of Boatwright Library. We’ll have a range of breakfast options, coffee, and beverages–sustenance to keep you going during that first busy week of classes. Feel free to stop in for any amount of time you can spare, or just grab a quick snack on your way to the office.
Giving Thanks
Gratitude Day here at the University of Richmond is November 3, and it seems like a perfect opportunity for us to take a moment to express our gratitude to you. We’ve been here in our space on the third floor of Boatwright Library for a little over a year, and we’ve come a long way thanks to a lot of help from our friends. We’re grateful to the many campus partners who collaborate with us and enrich our programs with their expertise. And we’re especially thankful for the committed, creative, and caring members of the faculty here at the University of Richmond. We’re very lucky to work with and learn from you all.
October Is for Writers!
Come join us at the Faculty Hub for three upcoming events to support faculty writers. Interested in learning more about our ongoing support for faculty writers? You can consult this document for details or take a look at our writing support website.
It’s October in the Faculty Hub
As we approach the midpoint of the semester, we at the Faculty Hub are sending you best wishes as you face those piles of grading and the other challenges and joys of faculty life. We hope that in spite of the busy-ness of this moment of the semester, you’ll be able to find the time to join us for some of our upcoming programming or just come by the Faculty Hub for coffee.
If you’re looking for a place to work, write, grade, or meet with collaborators, our beautiful Faculty Hub space on the third floor of Boatwright Library is a great place to be at any time. For meetings, you can reserve rooms in EMS but if you’re just in search of a quiet spot, no need to reserve–you can just stop by and settle in wherever you’re comfortable. You’re always welcome.
On that note, we’ll be here during the coming Fall Break, on Monday, October 10 or Tuesday, October 11, with extra special snacks, coffee, tea, and more.
