Dear Academic Affairs colleagues,
Spring is finally here, which provides our campus with beautiful tulips as well as an influx of opportunities for teaching and learning. I encourage you to step out and enjoy the weather and join your colleagues for these and many other events.
Green Honors Chair Events
Each year, our colleges and schools bring esteemed national and international scholars and artists to campus to stimulate new ideas, enrich intellectual exchange and encourage relations with our surrounding community. Green Honors Chair presentations are free to faculty, staff, students and the public. See upcoming Green Honors Chair events here.
Finding Ourselves in Community Workshops
Applications are now open for our second cohort of faculty members from across campus to participate in workshops in Fall 2023 to teach your modified class in Spring 2024. Finding Ourselves in Community is a five-year Quality Enhancement Plan to embed learning outcomes to help students from all majors develop skills to interact with people who are different from themselves. A stipend is provided for the workshops. Find more information and apply.
