Subject: Spring faculty writing circle signup

Dear colleagues,

As we conclude a challenging Winter Term, we can look ahead to some brighter days (literally and, let's hope, figuratively) in spring.

As always, the Center on Diversity and Community (CoDaC) is offering weekly faculty writing circles to help you protect significant time on the writing and research projects that are important to you.  All faculty are welcome. Below please find our Spring Term writing circle schedule and signup survey.

Once more, we are offering in-person circle options (and will offer more if possible if there is demand). In-person circles take place in CoDaC in Sarah Campbell Hall.

In Spring we are offering 3 in-person circles. If you strongly prefer in-person circles, but the in-person times on our schedule can't work for you, click on the survey option indicating that -- see below for more details. We'll do our best to find a solution that has as many folks in the writing circle mode that works for them as possible.

Some details: writing circles will begin the week of March 28, as classes start up. For virtual circles, your circle leader will send you the Zoom or Teams link as we get closer to term.

This spring we are offering ten circles, daily M-F, with a circle on Wednesday mornings for parents and caregivers. (Parents and caregivers are welcome and present in all of our circles and will find supportive colleagues. Circles specified as Caregiver circles offer even more focused support related to the challenges of writing during the pandemic and childcare crisis while parenting/caregiving.)

How to sign up
In responding to our scheduling poll, please write your full name and indicate all times that would work for you -- i.e. times that you would be able to protect and attend consistently across the term. As above, there is a special option if you strongly prefer in-person circles and can't make any of the times. We expect to be able to accommodate all or nearly all writers who may be in this position, but please still click on options that you can attend if necessary. This helps me get everyone into a circle convenient to them. You can also indicate times that could work in the second column. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about scheduling. However, please don't click on any times that you don't think you'd be able to attend most weeks.

Click here<https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0GN6so1n4oiwGwu> to sign up for a spring writing circle; the schedule is below:

I'll assign folks to circles around March 18, giving you time to think about what works best. Circles begin Monday, March 28.

As ever, if you know someone who you think might benefit from a faculty writing circle, please feel free to forward this email to them.

Here's the schedule, with circle modes indicated, to help you plan.

Monday 9:30 am -12:30 pm  (in-person)
Monday  9 am -noon  (virtual)
Monday 12:30-3:30 (virtual)

Lara
