SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:September Faculty On-Campus Work Retreats
DESCRIPTION:Sign up for a two-hour work session\, followed by a hot lunch with colleagues. The Faculty On-Campus Work Retreats offer a quiet space to work with other scholars and artists\, and an opportunity for you to prioritize your research and creative work by committing to one or two work sessions before teaching\, service\, and email take over the semester. Lunch\, after the work session\, is a chance to share interests and work with other colleagues\, to learn about each others’ research\, to grow professional and social networks\, and to experience the University as a collective.\n\nThe Work Retreats are open to all ~7\,600 members of the Faculty Senate\, including tenure-track professors\, lecturers\, research faculty\, clinical faculty\, librarians\, archivists\, and curators. The series was developed by the Faculty Senate Office\, is supported by the Office of the Provost\, and is co-sponsored by Librarian Mary Lawrence.\n\nThe morning retreats officially run from 10-1 (10-12 for quiet work time and 12-1 for lunch). Faculty are also invited to arrive at 9am to get in an extra hour of work (and enjoy coffee\, tea\, and breakfast snacks). You’re welcome to arrive early\, any time after 9 am. Afternoon retreats officially begin at 1pm and run until 5pm. Snacks and coffee/tea are provided. \n\n\nNew dates will be published monthly!

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:Political Speech and the Public Square
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan is an institution with diverse communities\, interests and opinions. In Fall 2024\, the Faculty Senate Office launched this series – Political Speech and the Public Square – to provide a forum for members of the U-M community to present informed\, fact-based perspectives\, and to listen to and learn from each other. In his essay\, “Education as a Space to Change Your Mind\,” philosopher Troy Jollimore reminds us of Socrates’ commitment to open-mindedness: “It requires that we work toward developing a sense of the world as a vast and complex place that we can\, and ought to\, continue to learn about for the rest of our lives.”\n\nOffered in this spirit of intellectual humility\, to support the principles of academic freedom\, and to develop a campus climate comfortable with hearing different well-informed points of view\, even those counter to one’s own views\, the lunchtime series will take place on the Diag throughout the Fall. U-M Students\, staff\, and faculty can sign up in advance to request an opportunity to speak on select topics for 3-5 minutes. Or they can simply come to listen and learn. These events are co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate Office\, the Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Open Inquiry: Talking Maize & Blue\, and Central Student Government.
