Pepper REC: WIP

Jacinta Dickens – “Neighborhood Indicators & Reentry Project”/ Panel – “Leveraging Your Strengths: How Faculty Decide When (and How Much) to Serve” with Julie Faieta, PhD, Lena Makaroun, MD, MS, and Samaneh Farsijani, PhD, RD

This Pepper REC panel will explore how faculty thoughtfully approach service opportunities while balancing core responsibilities such as teaching and mentoring, clinical care, and research. Panelists will share concrete examples of how they evaluate, select, and scope service roles to align with their strengths, career goals, and available capacity, offering practical strategies for making intentional and sustainable service commitments.
