• March 02: OMI two-part faculty workshop explores the joy in teaching, March 25 and 31

  Monday March 02, 2026
  

  Faculty are often asked to examine their teaching, to assess it, refine it, adapt it across modalities and strengthen it in response to evolving student needs. Self-improvement workshops and conferences are often attended where faculty ask themselves, “How can we do better?”

  All faculty are invited to participate in a two-part workshop, hosted by the Office of Mission Integration, that invites a different, yet equally important, question: What brings us joy in teaching?

  The two-part workshop will take place on:

  • Wednesday, March 25, from 2-4 p.m., via Zoom
  • Tuesday, March 31, from 2-4 p.m., in person, in Room 208 of the Student Union听

  Please note, participation is required at both sessions.听 A warm meal will be served on March 31.

  Within a small, interdisciplinary group of colleagues, participants will:

  • Reflect on the values, life experiences, disciplinary frameworks and commitments that influence their teaching at its best.
  • Explore how personal understandings of excellent teaching intersect with and enrich the Mercy and Jesuit educational mission and how those traditions can deepen pedagogical practices.
  • Rediscover experiences that bring meaning, purpose and fulfillment to the vocation of teaching.
  • Participate in a mindfulness component to create space for reflection and presence throughout the dialogue.

  The voice and perspectives of colleagues who are deeply committed to teaching will greatly enrich this conversation. This workshop is intended as a reflective and restorative experience.

  Please RSVP by Monday, March 2, via email to Office of Mission Integration Faculty Fellow Ashlee Barnes at barnesav@udmercy.edu.
