The University of Iowa WISE program, along with the UI Council on the Status of Women and the Women's Resource and Action Center, are sponsoring a retreat for women professors to assist in finding ways to balance our personal and professional lives.

Balancing work, family, friends, and time for yourself can seem like an impossible pursuit. Are you tired of feeling stressed and barely keeping up? Take a few days off from the demands of your personal and academic life this summer to join other women professors at one of the best conference centers in the country as we rejuvenate our spirits and learn strategies for creating balance and wholeness in our lives.

Living a Balanced Life: A Retreat for Women in Academia will be held at the Oak Ridge Conference Center near Minneapolis, MN from June 30 - July 2, 2008.

I look forward to sharing this relaxing and inspiring retreat with you!
