COLI and the Academic Affairs Division are already planning our Faculty Development Week for Summer 2022! The dates are August 15th -19th.
If you have a session or workshop idea for fellow faculty, consider proposing it to us. Sessions are roughly one hour, fifteen minutes long, but that can be conversation rather than a formal presentation. We are hoping to make this Development Week 100% in purpose, and on-campus!
Some Ideas for Topics
Interactive teaching methods for the classroom.
Faculty collaboration in teaching.
Teaching and Learning with Technology.
Community-Based Learning.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Laudato si’ and the environmental mission.
