New faculty members at WPI have many competing demands on their time at work and at home that can contribute to stress—preparing new courses, adjusting to the 7-week term, setting up a new lab, writing grant proposals, supervising students, settling into a new home, caring for family and friends, maintaining old friendships and making new ones, etc.  This session will offer some tips on how to manage the many responsibilities to not only avoid burnout but to thrive.  Practical advice about how to use reframing and muti-scale planning will be reviewed as well as helpful practices for managing stress in the moment and long-term.
