    Dear colleagues,

    Please join us!

    From Mental Health to Physical Health to Quiet Quitting in Academia
    Saturday, August 10
    1:30-3:30p
    Swissotel: Monte Rosa

    The COVID pandemic forced many academics to shift their research and teaching unexpectedly. The pandemic also exposed issues of faculty burnout, mental health, fatigue, and lack of work life balance. Initial institutional responses to these aforementioned issues were met with concern. However, the initial concern has faded while the issues remain, and in some cases, has compounded. This PDW will allow participants to explore how unaddressed mental health challenges can manifest into physical health challenges, ultimately resulting in negative workplace outcomes, such as quiet quitting. Participants will be asked to consider actual strategies to change aspects of their research, teaching, and service, which may result in more positive physical and mental health outcomes.
