How, then, can you balance the work of a professor with your life away from work – your relationships, family, outside interests?  And how does all of this impact your physical and psychological health?  Sandra Sgoutas-Emch, Ph.D., professor of Psychology and director, Center for Educational Excellence, shares ways to move toward balance with tips for:
