Transforming Office Hours » Workshop Recording

Office hours are a key aspect of academic life, serving as a dedicated time for faculty to engage directly with students outside of the classroom. These hours foster a supportive learning environment and enhance students’ sense of belonging.

They offer students personalized assistance, feedback, and clarification on course material. For faculty, office hours provide an invaluable opportunity to understand students’ needs, address individual concerns, build meaningful relationships, and ameliorate disparities that can affect minoritized students. By prioritizing office hours, faculty not only enhance student success and satisfaction but also contribute to a more interactive and responsive educational experience.

This commitment helps bridge the gap between teaching and learning, ultimately enriching the academic community as a whole.
