Module 8 Overview

So far, in this handbook, you have learned all about being a CSUN employee, from how to set up your courses to create a learning-centered environment, to where to look for funding opportunities for your scholarship. As we have previously mentioned, we are so excited to have you at CSUN and want you to be successful, and that includes your personal well-being and growth. The perfect equilibrium between work and life can sometimes seem like an unreachable goal for many of us who might feel as though we are struggling every day to “get it all done” at the office, in our classrooms, and at home. Competing time demands and various other stressors can cause us to sometimes push aside our own well-being, which can negatively impact our productivity, our health and our relationships. Here in the Office of Faculty Development, we believe in a holistic approach to supporting faculty so that you can be successful, not only as employees, but as humans with rich, full lives too. 

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Identify at least one practice of mindfulness and intentionality that you can incorporate in your routine
• Find campus resources and events that support your well-being
