Special Breakout Session: "The Fulfilled and Sustainable Educator"
Sáenz will also host a special breakout session for faculty and staff at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 18. His presentation is titled “The Fulfilled and Sustainable Educator.”

Educators are nurturers, which means they make tremendous sacrifices to empower their students to grow and develop. That is a significant part of why education is commonly considered the noblest profession. Self-sacrifice, though, can become a liability when not considered in proper context.

The life of the educator must be recharged so as not to lose the passion for this noble calling. The good news is that not only is personal balance attainable, but as we nurture it, we will find ourselves maximizing our impact—both instructionally and relationally—in the lecture hall and beyond.
