Write@Work: LACE in Times of Uncertainty
This 5-week professional development journaling workshop invites participants to utilize the L.A.C.E. framework to explore the context of uncertainty. Together, participants will create space to imagine, grow, and sustain resilience through reflective writing and community conversation. By registering for the opening session, participants are agreeing to attend all 5 sessions, to the best of their ability. The final session will be in person and will begin with a group luncheon at 11:30 am. It is a community building effort, but not a obligatory feature of the journaling sessions.

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.
