Trying to balance the demands of multiple roles is often a challenge. When you have a grant to write, papers to grade, committee meetings to attend along with children who need time and attention, an ailing parent, and your own personal health and fitness needs, how do you decide how to allocate your time and energy? There is no one-size fits all formula for balancing work and personal life priorities, and the balance that’s right for you may change over time and as circumstances change.

During this session, participants will learn about the IU policies that are in place to aid in work-life balance, consider best practices at other institutions and in business and industry ,and explore how to find the right balance in your own life.

This panel discussion will be facilitated by Kathy Grove, Director of the Office for Women. Panelists include:

Maggie Stimming and Jenie Paton from IUPUI Human Resources;
Jane Williams from the Department of Psychology;
Mary Dankoski from the IU School of Medicine; and
Carol McGarry from the IUPUI Office of Faculty Appointments and Advancement.
