Every year the PEdS group holds a holiday card sale where UConn Health faculty members submit drawings their kids have done and we turn them into holiday cards. The proceeds from this sale help us to fund community outreach initiatives at places like My Sister's Place in Hartford, an organization that provides safe housing and other resources to women and children without a home. You can check us out from Dec 9th to 13th from 11am-1pm at the cafeteria. Come say hi and take a look at our awesome cards that will make a great gift for your loved ones.

Lab Staff Weekly Meeting

At the end of the semester many of us are focused on just dragging ourselves across the finish line and hunkering down for a well-deserved rest.  In this writing workshop you will collect the wisdom you have gained from this past semester's teaching before it becomes a distant memory. The goal is to reflect on specific things that happened, become aware of the lessons they might hold, and identify where you want to go next with this knowledge. Some of what you write may become part of a teaching philosophy statement, but the purpose of this workshop is simply to download your learning from fall 2024 so you can return to it revitalized after the break. The practice of collecting your own reflections can also make your engagement with student evaluations of teaching more informative and less intimidating.
