Academic faculty members who are new to UNLV, as well as those who want an inspirational boost, are invited to a panel discussion at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 6, in the William S. Boyd School of Law Moot Courtroom.

A panel of current faculty will focus on strategies for setting realistic, achievable goals that balance ambition with sustainability. Panelists will discuss common challenges such as perfectionism and over-commitment. The discussion will include practical approaches for breaking down big projects, aligning goals with long-term priorities, and celebrating progress along the way.

The panel is moderated by Haroon Sahotra, associate vice provost for faculty affairs. Panel members include:

  • Libby Hausrath, professor, Department of Geoscience
  • Monika Neda, professor and associate dean for research, Department of Mathematical Sciences
  • Sajjad Ahmad, professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Construction

The discussion will draw from topics in the NCFDD webinar Skill #8 Overcoming Academic Perfectionism.

Doors will open at 9:30, providing an opportunity for informal networking and conversation before the session begins. 

Please RSVP to attend this event.
