Faculty Fridays- December 2025 Event Recap

The Office of Faculty Affairs recently gathered NJIT faculty and graduate students for a fireside chat regarding Work-Life Integration. Held in Room 102 of the Life Sciences Building, the event highlighted the importance of balance within the academic community. Dr. Mary Konsolaki, Dr. Ashish Borgaonkar, and Dr. Genoa Warner served as panelists, offering insights into navigating the demands of research, teaching, and personal well-being. 

This session provided NJIT faculty, lecturers, and postdocs an opportunity to engage in an open dialogue about integrating professional responsibilities with personal life. 

Faculty members and graduate students engaged in a dynamic "Scenario Test" during a recent Faculty Fridays fireside chat. The session encouraged attendees to work through complex administrative and ethical challenges, focusing on the intersection of academic freedom, inclusion, and university safety. 

Faculty Fridays take place on the first Friday of every month to promote collaboration and a sense of community among NJIT faculty and lecturers.
