Events

With our increasingly plugged-in lives, it's important to establish expectations and set boundaries around email and work time for weekends, evenings, and vacations. Come out and learn how others successfully disconnect and unplug without making things worse. 

The FAUW Fall General Meeting is Thursday, December 5 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm in QNC 1502. Lunch will be provided. Voting members: check your email for the written reports and other meeting material.

Drop by to meet other lecturers from across campus at the Grad House on January 22 between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m

Thursdays in the Fall and Winter, the Waterloo Indigenous Student Centre hosts a free soup lunch, prepared and served by a different campus group or department each week. All members of the Waterloo community are welcome.

FAUW's Indigenization Working Group will be serving soup on January 23 this year.

This session for faculty members currently on a definite-term contract is presented by the Academic Freedom & Tenure Committee, which helps members navigate all kinds of workplace issues. It will help you to:

• interpret your current contract and what you're entitled to as a definite term faculty member,
• prepare to negotiate your next contract, and
• understand the pathway to continuing status.

There is still space in this workshop, but we cannot order additional lunches.

On January 31, the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) is hosting its winter term New Faculty Teaching Day on Friday, January 31. This day is intended for those new faculty members who arrived after (or missed) the August Teaching Orientation Days and features three of the four core CTE workshops for new faculty.

The Council of Representatives provides two-way communication between the FAUW Board of Directors and each academic unit at Waterloo.

dan brown, FAUW’s rep on the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Timetabling (also the FAUW treasurer and president-elect) will explain what currently happens in the class scheduling process, where and why things get tricky, and what you need to know to help things go smoothly for you and everyone else.

Registration for lunch has closed, but you can still attend!

The Faculty Association of University of Waterloo (FAUW), the University of Waterloo Staff Association (UWSA), the Renison Association of Academic Staff (RAAS), and the St. Jerome's University Academic Staff Association (SJU-ASA) invite Indigenous employees of University of Waterloo and the Affiliated and Federated Institutions of Waterloo to lunch on us Monday, February 24, at noon in Hagey Hall 373.
