Breathing room and supports for faculty and staff

  As we are all finding our way through the challenges of our time, we are working to build and strengthen our culture of well-being at Nazareth College. We care that every person finds meaning and fulfillment in their lives, and that the Nazareth community is a positive source of each person’s sense of well-being.   To this aim, thank you for the thoughtful engagement of many in considering the question I posed at the Town Hall on September 23:  “How do we find ourselves some short-term breathing room in this complex and uncharted territory we are all living through?” I asked the Faculty Welfare Committee, Staff Work-Life Committee, Senate Executive Committee, Administrative Council, and expanded Cabinet (including the deans and other stakeholder leaders) to think about short-term breathing room actions we could take this semester that wouldn’t interfere with student learning, support, and success and that are within our resources.
