Let's Do Lunch!
Looking for some continuity in these days of uncertainty?
Want to connect to other faculty at Texas State to exchange ideas and be a part of a living learning community?
Seeking ways to provide compassion and self-care to you, your students, and your colleagues?
Then Let’s Do Lunch!
We meet at noon each Friday via ZOOM to share new ideas, ask questions, and find ways to take care of ourselves and our students as we navigate this new world.
This is a come-and-go drop-in affair, so please feel free to attend even if you have to come late because your 3-year old needs a snack or if you have to let your dogs out. Our gatherings will be informal, fun, and informative.
