Join us May 19-21, 2020 for HCC’s Faculty Retreat at The San Luis Resort in Galveston. The Faculty Retreat differs from most retreats in that, for the most part, the program is created by the participants themselves. The staff’s major role is facilitation. The format varies but often includes teaching clinics, panels, organized discussions, “hands-on” workshops, and presentations by participants or retreat staff. The exchange takes place not only in scheduled sessions, but also informally by the pool, in conversations at dinner, or on excursions on the Strand or the island.
The goals of the retreat include: sharing methods and techniques – celebrating good teaching – creative, realistic problem solving – an exploration of new ideas – serious introspection and self-appraisal – professional and personal rejuvenation.
The Retreat cost of $675, excluding travel and Wednesday’s dinner, includes: room, self parking, refreshments, and all but one meal (Wednesday’s dinner is on your own). Transportation to and from the Retreat is not included. You can use your Professional Development funds or apply for a Bedichek-Orman Grant to cover the cost or a portion of the Retreat.
If you plan to use Professional Development funds, you should check your funding balance in Concur within the HCC Intranet.
To apply for the Faculty Retreat, please complete this application form. Applications will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis per discipline or Center of Excellence. Preference will be given to first-time attendees. Please avoid multiple submissions. Applicants will be notified of their status no later than April 30th.
