Faculty Writing Retreat – Start Your Summer “Write!”

Posted: May 10, 2019

CTLL is hosting a one-day faculty writing retreat on Tuesday, May 14, 2019, on the Gainesville Campus in Nesbitt 3110. The retreat will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

We welcome Dr. Christine Tulley, an internationally recognized expert on faculty writing and the author most recently of How Writing Faculty Write (UP of Colorado 2018). She will present findings from her book and lead a lunchtime activity.
We see this retreat as an opportunity for participating faculty to get a head-start on a summer writing project, and we have carved out time during the writing retreat for individual writing and breakout sessions on topics of interest to faculty writers:

finding a journal home
navigating IRB
quantitative research design
life/work balance
developing a book project

Lunch is provided, with an informal happy hour gathering at Mellow Mushroom immediately after the retreat.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
