Subject: Sign up for a Fall Faculty Writing Circle

Dear colleagues,


I'm writing to invite you to sign up for a Fall Faculty Writing Circle.



The Center on Diversity and Community (CoDaC) offers weekly faculty writing circles to help you protect significant time for the writing and research projects that are important to you. Along the way, you'll meet faculty from all over the university and take advantage of the positive accountability and support we provide each other.



All faculty are welcome. Over 90% of past participants cite our circles' success in helping them meet their goals for their writing projects, and 87% of our participants describe the circles as creating a valued intellectual community. Join us!



Below please find details, our fall writing circle schedule, and the link to sign up.



Timeline

Writing circles begin on Tuesday of the week of September 27 (i.e. the first day of week 1). They will run through week 10 of Fall Term.



Circle formats

This fall we are offering 8 virtual and 3 in-person circles, daily M-F.



For virtual circles, your circle leader will send you the Zoom or Teams link before the circles begin. On Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday mornings, we offer virtual circles 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.



In-person circles take place in CoDaC, in the basement of Susan Campbell Hall. There is a variety of seating - and snacks - available in the CoDaC space. 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. 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.



How to sign up

In responding to our scheduling poll, please include your full name and email. Click on all times in the left column that would work well for you. This helps me get everyone into a circle convenient to them. You should also indicate times that could work in the right column. However, don't click on times that you wouldn't be able to protect and attend consistently, outside of research/conference travel and other necessary absences. Feel free to email me with questions about scheduling.



I'll start assigning folks to circles around September 15, giving you time to think about what works best. I will continue to add participants until circles are full. Again, circles begin Tuesday, September 27, and will run through the end of Fall Term.
