GSC Division J Fireside Chat: Research, Teaching, Service, and Life: Achieving Balance as Doctoral Students and Faculty

Session Submission Type: Fireside Chat

Abstract

Research, teaching, and service play important roles in the life of an academic. In academia, we are expected to balance these three responsibilities, yet the ability to achieve this balance is not intrinsic. Many scholars struggle with how much time to dedicate to each of these work priorities, while also juggling our personal responsibilities and outside priorities. This session aims to provide insight on how to achieve balance within the academy. It will feature distinguished panelists who have greatly contributed to the field of higher education while managing to maintain balance among their many responsibilities.
