Community-Engaged Scholarship Writing Retreat Community-Engaged Scholarship Writing Retreat

March 7, 2022 – March 8, 2022Date:
Monday, March 7, 2022 - 12:00am to Tuesday, March 8, 2022 - 11:55pm
Location:
Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, Hastings, MI
Thinking about new writing and publishing goals in 2022? Feeling a bit stretched thin with your responsibilities and commitments to others? This writing retreat is especially for those who need protected time and space away from campus and other responsibilities to dedicate to academic writing. Pierce Cedar Creek Institute offers private guest rooms and spacious indoor writing spaces with natural scenery for inspiration to write about community-engaged research, community partnerships, broader impacts work, service-learning, and other writing that supports engagement with partners beyond campus borders.
This two-day, residential retreat includes both unstructured writing time and optional structured writing support, including workshops, consultations, and peer feedback. Consultants from The Writing Center and University Outreach and Engagement will be available to provide feedback both days and will build connections among the writers throughout the retreat, so that even while writing on your own, you are part of a supportive community.
Last fall’s writers worked on literature reviews, grant proposals, journal revise and resubmits, journal articles, white papers, book manuscripts, community-engagement curriculum, and pieces for community partners. The 2021 writers said they appreciated: “getting away from everything to just write,” “talking with others about their ideas and project,” “feeling less alone while writing,” and “beautiful scenery, great food, supportive colleagues.” Join us for another great writing retreat in spring 2022.

Location:
MSU Union Ballroom/Zoom
The Graduate School is proud to be a sponsor of Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month 2022.

Jon Kung is a rising star and self-taught chef hailing from Detroit, Michigan. A self-described “Third Culture Kid,” Jon always felt he grew up with his feet firmly planted in two different worlds; the culture the country his parents immigrated from, Hong Kong, and the culture of the adoptive countries he grew up in, America and Canada.
Before the Covid-19 Pandemic, the only way to experience Jon’s unique cooking and personality were at one of his private dinners or dumpling classes in Detroit. But in 2020, Jon launched a TikTok account with 60 second daily cooking demos that have garnered him more than 2 million followers and tens of millions of views across his social platforms.
Registration is required. While registering, attendees will also be able to submit questions to Chef Jon. Visit the Student Life website for more info on Chef Jon.

Diversity Statement Writing Workshop Diversity Statement Writing Workshop

Wednesday, March 30, 2022 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm
Location:
Zoom
In bi-weekly Virtual Lunch and Learn & Best Practices in Teaching gatherings Graduate Teaching Assistants share their knowledge about teaching, teaching and technology tools as well as discuss research of teaching, book chapters relevant to work in an instructional setting. Anyone interested in these topics can join these meetings.
Are you applying for jobs/internships? Many jobs, especially academic positions, ask students to submit a “diversity statement” with their application materials. Many job seekers, unfortunately, treat such a document as an afterthought, when in fact it is a powerful opportunity to talk about your goals, values, and the kind of faculty member or academic leader you aspire to be.
In this workshop, we will walk you through the process of recognizing your identities and positionality, and the role of DEI in your teaching, research, service, and community efforts. At the end of this session, you will have a working draft you can confidently refine, and which will empower you to continue your efforts toward DEI in any space.
Presenters: Dr. Stefanie Baier and Hima Rawal
Please register below to attend and we will send Zoom information, slides, and other relevant materials.
