Teaching and Learning Day: May 13th
Plan on joining faculty and staff from across campus for Teaching and Learning Day on May 13th from 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM in Seacobeck Hall and the HCC-Digital Auditorium. From AI and LAMW to constructive dialogues and Canvas New Quizzes, there is something for everyone.
NOTE: The session descriptions are updated with presenters for the Pedagogy Playground–a new format for faculty to share interesting activities and assignments. Several recipients of the Provost AI Learning Excellence Grant and the NEH Spotlight on the Humanities grant will be sharing their projects.
Reserve your spot for all sessions by Friday, May 9th (and encourage a friend to join you, too!).
Book Authors Writing Retreat: May 14th
Get a jump on your summer writing plans (or finish your FAAR) at the Book Authors Writing Retreat on May 14th from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM in Seacobeck Hall. ALL WRITERS ARE WELCOME! Come and go as your schedule permits. Spaces will be available for individual and team writing, as well a social space in the Dome Room with an all-day beverage and snack station. Let us know you plan to attend any portion of the day–and, of course, bring a friend who always says they need to write but never finds the time. 🙂
