As conversations about supporting faculty wellbeing continue to evolve, there is growing recognition that meaningful change requires institutional action—not just individual self-care. In this webinar, Andrea Aebersold (Executive Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning, Montana State University Billings) and Joy Crissey Honea (Professor of Sociology at Montana State University Billings) will share research-driven insights and practical strategies for addressing faculty burnout at an institutional level. 

Drawing on their campus-wide research, the presenters will discuss how their institution reframed faculty wellbeing through initiatives such as revised tenure and promotion guidelines, new teaching and learning workshops, and cross-campus partnerships. Participants will learn how to gather meaningful data, collaborate with faculty and campus stakeholders, and develop action plans that create sustainable cultural and structural change. 

Their session will offer practical guidance on moving from awareness to action—helping institutions build a shared narrative of faculty wellbeing and to evaluate the impact of their initiatives. 

Who is this workshop for?

This event is open to participants from all roles and backgrounds, and may be especially valuable for educational developers, Centres for Teaching and Learning staff, academic leaders and administrators, and faculty.
