It’s the classic dilemma of university faculty—how to balance teaching and research. Faculty often say it can feel that each is to the detriment of the other, particularly for tenure-track faculty striving to publish while also engaged in the time-intensive preparation for teaching new courses.

A group of BGSU faculty formed a learning community to study this “life out of balance” and share ideas and strategies with one another. They discuss their findings about a positive “ripple effect” in the Journal on Excellence in College Teaching.

Pianist Barry Douglas will perform the Lois M. Nitschke Memorial Concert on Jan. 26 as part of the Festival Series.
