I attended a 3-day long, January 9-11 virtual writing retreat hosted by Lehman College faculty members. About 18 from around the USA met from 10 AM- 6 PM on Monday & Tuesday, and from 10 AM- 5 PM on Wednesday.
The retreat acted like an accountability writing group and was productive for me in updating my Thesis Appendices, especially re: my detailed 2023-2024 Work Plans. They are due by January 15, along with my Confirmation of Registration Reports.
(For the upcoming Spring 2023 semester, I also used some of the retreat time to ready my teaching documents...syllabus, Blackboard, iCal/schedules, etc.)
My retreat Wrap-up notes look like this:
• Updated Spring painting course syllabi, materials list, course schedules on syllabus, Bb and iCal
• Copied, merged and updating painting courses on Bb
• Met with dissertation supervisors- still to make final edits to Confirmation of Registration reports
