Faculty Well-Being

Faculty often come under immense pressure to perform as excellent educators, stellar researchers, and adept practitioners within their disciplines. This pressure, combined with expectations of university-wide service and external obligations, can deteriorate the wellbeing of faculty members. Additionally, members of underrepresented and minoritized groups often face high risks of burnout and fatigue from what is often called a 'minority tax,' or additional stress placed on underrepresented individuals. There are several strategies faculty can use to support their wellbeing, including working with a mentor to help identify appropriate workload balance, finding community among other faculty members, and seeking professional help when needed.
