Juggling Education & Inspiration with Dr. Jen Mott

Join us for a special Teacher Appreciation Week hybrid event featuring alumna Dr. Jen Mott ’10, ’11; an educator, school administrator, and professional juggler — literally!

For nearly 15 years, Dr. Mott has taught and led in Cincinnati-area schools (grades 7-12), all while performing with the Cincinnati Circus Company for almost two decades. She knows firsthand what it means to juggle the many demands of education, and she’s passionate about helping teachers persevere.

She’ll share insights from her book Teacherverance, based on her dissertation research on teacher resilience, and her picture book Why Teaching?, which celebrates the journey of a child aspiring to be an educator. Come be encouraged, swap stories, and connect with fellow educators who are doing the hard work every day in our schools. Advance registration is requested by May 1. 

We're pleased to offer two registration options for this Teacher Appreciation Week event:

In-person option: Registration is complimentary and includes snacks, refreshments, and on-campus parking validation. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with one another and connect with Dr. Mott.

Virtual option: Can't join us on campus? Virtual registration is complimentary. Attendees will receive a link to watch the talk in real time.
