Planning for Rest and Recovery: An Agile End-of-Year Reflection

Date: Wednesday, November 5, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET

After a long and demanding year, faculty deserve time to reflect, recharge, and reset.
This free public workshop will help you pause with intention and create a personalized self-care plan rooted in the Agile values of focus, courage, openness, commitment, and respect. You’ll leave with practical strategies for active rest and recovery—so you can close out the year with clarity and step into 2026 with renewed energy and purpose.

Reserve your spot today and start your path to a more balanced year ahead.
