SOULS Framework
To help us retain talented faculty, the division uses the SOULS framework to determine what is working well and what needs to change in higher education. There are five principles that anchor the SOULS framework: Safety, Organizational Accountability, Unvarnished Truth Telling, Love, and Spirituality. SOULS fosters an environment where everyone can thrive, and each voice is valued.

Write @ Work
Write@Work is a 6-week series of 1-hour virtual journaling sessions that allow employees to reflect and journal during the workday. Focusing on a variety of work-related themes, the sessions transform everyday work experiences into intentional learning opportunities and foster personal growth.
Write@Work: Exploring Abundance
in Seasons of Limitation
Write@Work is a five-week journaling and conversation series that invites participants to reflect on abundance—not as excess, but as a practice of noticing, stewarding, and sharing what remains available during seasons of limitation.
Through guided writing and small-group reflection, participants will explore how scarcity of time, energy, resources, clarity, or hope can shape the way we work and relate to others—and how perspective, generosity, and grounded wisdom can help us move through those experiences with care.
This is a virtual workshop series. By registering for the opening session, participants are asked to attend all five sessions to the best of their ability. The final session will be held in person and will begin with an optional group luncheon at 11:45 a.m.

What to Expect
Week 1: Naming Scarcity Without Being Ruled by It
Participants will acknowledge where scarcity feels present while creating space to reflect rather than react.
Guided journaling prompts:
- Where am I currently feeling scarcity—time, energy, resources, hope, clarity, or support?
- How does scarcity affect the way I think, work, lead, or relate to others?
- What would it look like to name scarcity honestly without letting it define the whole story?
Week 2: Redefining Abundance
Participants will expand the meaning of abundance beyond money or material resources to include relationships, wisdom, creativity, faith, time, rest, and shared strength.
Guided journaling prompts:
- When I hear the word “abundance,” what do I usually think of?
- What forms of abundance are already present in my life or work, even if they are easy to overlook?
- How might my choices change if I defined abundance more broadly?
Week 3: Noticing What We Have
Participants will reflect on how to care for their resources, gifts, relationships, and energy with wisdom and intention.
Guided journaling prompts:
- What is in my hands in this season?
- Where do I need to protect my energy, and where am I being invited to share it?
- What small act of stewardship could help me feel more grounded this week?
Week 4: Generosity Without Depletion
Participants will explore generosity as a sustainable practice rooted in boundaries, wisdom, and care.
Guided journaling prompts:
- What does healthy generosity look like for me right now?
- Where have I confused generosity with overextension?
- How can I offer something meaningful without abandoning my own needs?
Week 5: Living from Enough
Participants will gather insights from the series and identify practices that help them live from grounded abundance rather than scarcity.
Guided journaling prompts:
- What have I learned about scarcity, abundance, and my own inner resources?
- What do I want to carry forward from this series?
- What is one “enough” practice I can continue in my daily life?
