Morning Blend is a weekly discussion on a specific topic that impacts teaching and/or scholarship. The program will run virtually on Tuesday morning (8:30 - 9:00 a.m.) and be repeated on Wednesdays mornings (9:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.) in the Faculty Hub (touchdown table in front of the kitchen). After the sessions, a video recording and tip sheet will be available to anyone who attended or wishes to engage with the material online. Note: the recorded sessions will only include the presentation and will not include the discussion.

Each Morning Blend session includes a 10-15 minute presentation with specific, action-oriented information about that week's topic. We then invite participants to share ideas about the topic. Although we plan for 30 minutes, participants may feel free to engage for any time period that their schedule allows.

We invite faculty to grab a cup of coffee or tea and please join us! No registration required, but you may register here if you'd like to get a link to add the sessions to your calendar. All Tuesday meetings will use the following zoom link: https://urichmond.zoom.us/j/85901098823
