"Supporting Department Chairs: Self Care During Unprecedented Times"

This Fall’s leadership workshop will focus on self-care and stress management for chairs. A Chronicle of Higher Education article (Admin 101: Campus Administrators Need Self-Care, Too) from October of this year reaffirmed the importance of self-care for chairs. Thus, the workshop will include a discussion on fundamentals of self-care and good mental health, strategies for bolstering self-care, and recognition of the extraordinary efforts chairs are engaging in during these unprecedented times. Attendees will have time to join breakout rooms with others to share current self-care challenges and strategies that have worked.  We hope the workshop can provide a brief self-care oasis.
