If you’re feeling stretched thin, saying “yes” too often, or struggling to maintain balance with students and colleagues — you’re not alone. What if you could set clearer boundaries and still show up fully in your academic life? Join this free, live webinar where we’ll explore how academics can create and maintain healthy boundaries that protect time, energy, and well-being.
You’ll hear from Rachel McLaren, Ph.D., associate professor of communication studies at University of Iowa; Maurice Stevens, Ph.D., professor and associate dean for engagement in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University; and Elizabeth Parks, Ph.D., who will share insights and practical tools drawn from the NCFDD’s Faculty Success Program, including:
- How to identify where your boundaries need strengthening
- Strategies to communicate limits with confidence and care
- Tips to sustain balance throughout the academic year
Whether you’re navigating student demands, committee work, or constant emails, this session will help you reset and reclaim your focus.
