Getting Through the End of the Academic Year

Natalie Houston of ProfHacker has a helpful post about  finishing the academic year.  Here is a taste:

Deadlines, committee meetings, and events pile up at the end of the spring semester. Almost everyone on campus, students, staff, and faculty alike, feel the pressure building up over the last weeks. There are papers to write or grade, thesis and dissertation defenses, final meetings of almost every administrative committee or panel, prize competitions to be judged, and graduation ceremonies to be planned, rehearsed, and performed.

It’s a lot. It’s stressful. But somehow or other, the spring term does end and we all get through it.

She offers suggestions for getting through grading, getting through meetings, practicing good self care and “ending the semester right.”  The post is worth a look.
