Scholarship
Academic departments and deans offices provide the most direct support of faculty research, through conference travel funds, new-equipment acquisitions, journal subscriptions, and book purchases. To supplement this support, Academic Affairs offers opportunities for collegial encouragement and mentoring through regular writing retreats.
Finding the Time: Faculty Writing Retreats
(all faculty)
Intensive writing retreats (a.k.a., boot camps) in those nooks and crannies of the academic year – fall break, early January, spring break, late May, summer. Intensive daylong writing sessions with breaks for food, community, and perhaps a bit of healthy griping. Come with an achievable goal and good attitude. We’ll do the rest. Retreats held at the Loyola/Notre Dame Library. Sign up in advance with the Office of Academic Affairs so that we can make arrangements. More information, including schedule.
Weekly Faculty Writing Retreats
(all faculty)
As a supplement to Find the Time (FTT) Retreat, the weekly writing retreats meets throughout the semester when faculty are still teaching. These retreats are designed to help faculty get into the practice of wrigin and scholarship. The weekly writing retreats are scheduled on any Friday with the Finding the Time retreats are not meeting. For more information and to sign up for a retreat, please visit the Writing Retreats website.
Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

We also partner with the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to ensure that faculty are aware of junior and senior sabbatical opportunities, summer research grants, and external grant possibilities.
