The Renewable Academic

Pause, reflect, and sustain the benefits of renewal in your everyday academic life, no matter your career stage.

Ongoing Academic Renewal

The Renewable Academic is a self-paced program designed to guide academics in reconnecting with identity, clarifying priorities, and carving out space for reflection. Build practical, intentional pauses for renewal, even when traditional breaks aren’t possible.

Guided by experience


I’m Liz, a professor who has had several pauses in my academic career – formally and informally. These moments of reflection have helped me understand my own priorities, and sustain a fulfilling career. I also study identity and meaning, and I bring that perspective to this program. Regularly revisiting who you are and what you want to prioritize can help you work with clarity and intention that lasts.
