This year, the Faculty Center invites our campus community to embrace joy as a guiding force in our work. In a time when higher education faces challenges and uncertainty, joy is a radical act. Joy fuels curiosity, sparks creativity, and renews our sense of purpose.
Together, we will explore ways to amplify joy in our classrooms, our scholarship, and our professional growth—supporting spaces where faculty and students alike feel valued, inspired, and connected. From embracing emerging technologies like AI with curiosity, to cultivating inclusive learning communities, we’ll focus on joy as the heart of innovation, belonging, and transformation.
Come join us in workshops, communities of practice, yoga, and community events. We welcome you!
