CTE Writers' Boot Camp
This Writers' Boot Camp is a writing retreat program to provide faculty with dedicated space and time for getting writing done. This is NOT a training session. You won't get instruction on how to improve your writing, but you will get the chance to write in a quiet environment without the distractions of home, office, or public area. We work in 75-minute sessions followed by short breaks.
Friday, November 2 and Saturday, November 3
9:15 AM - 4:15 PM
Cone Hall 2029 (Statesboro)
*Make sure to register for each day individually*
Happiness is a new book - Choose Yours!
Every semester CTE colleagues lead book discussion groups to facilitate interdisciplinary discussions on teaching and learning foundations, new ideas in pedagogy, or higher education more broadly.
Small groups (max. 10 participants) meet over the course of four weeks to engage with and discuss the common reading.
What book would you like to read as part of a book discussion group? Please complete this brief survey to let us know what you are interested in reading next semester. We have a selected a few titles from our CTE library to choose from, and if you have a specific book or general topic in mind beyond the options listed, share it with us by typing it into the “Your Suggestions” response option.
Participation in the survey is not a commitment to participate in a book study. Dates and time of meetings for each title selected will be determined early in the semester based on the availability of faculty interested in being part of a book discussion group.

When I am away from work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, learning how to sew, and driving a tractor while interacting with nature.
