    Living remotely from campus (i.e., living in a city or town outside of the
    campus location) has become a more common occurrence in the Academy. Many
    faculty members live remotely from campus for a variety of reasons.
    Further, as the internet becomes a more important tool for the delivery of
    courses and degree programs, even more faculty may live and work remotely
    from campus. Nonetheless, “remote” faculty members still must maintain a
    presence on campus to fulfill service and teaching requirements and meet
    other work expectations. Yet, managing travel to and from campus,
    “face-time” in the office, research productivity and personal commitments
    can be challenging. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss how faculty
    members who live remotely can effectively meet their personal and
    professional obligations.

    The workshop invites all current or former remote faculty members to attend.
    No pre-registration is required.
