The last three years have been challenging, to say the very least, and the ongoing trauma of the pandemic and shake-ups on our campuses have impacted both faculty and students. Many faculty were on the edge of burnout before 2020, and the swings between in-person to remote and back again have tested the coping skills of the strongest faculty members. In this workshop, we will explore what burnout is and how to recognize it, examine two lenses through which to look at burnout resilience – purpose and compassion, and develop some actions to take immediately to mitigate burnout.
