Workshops
Wholesome Professor Workshops
The Wholesome Professor is indicative of a faculty member who is physically fit, mentally ready, emotionally healthy, scholarly prepared and socially engaged. As Eastern Illinois University strives to be the best in the nation in the integrated academic and personal development of our students, Faculty Development provides various workshops throughout the year to augment faculty teaching. Scholarly teaching and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is highly encouraged, especially as many sub-fields have sprung up in higher education, and have become more sophisticated (high-end technologies, diversity, globalization, etc.). Drawing upon leading topics in higher education for every college and its members, the goal for these workshops is to assist faculty in thriving in many facets of their life. In the past six years, 141 sessions have been presented as Wholesome Professor workshops, with over 800 participants and attendees.
