| TOMORROW - The Scholar's Exchange |
| |
Thursday, March 2, noon - 1:00 p.m., Faculty Hub (register here)
The Scholars’ Exchange is a new series of faculty panels designed to offer a chance for faculty to share their scholarship and disciplinary knowledge and to connect with colleagues across campus. A panel of three faculty members will be asked to address a theme from the perspective of their scholarship, discipline, and experience. Those reflections will provide the framework for a larger conversation on the theme among the attendees of the event. The first theme is "truth." Associate Provost for Faculty Linda Boland will moderate, and we will be joined by the following faculty members for our first discussion: Vincent Chiao, Tyler Haynes Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Lauren N. Henley, Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies, and Eric S. Yellin, Associate Professor of History. Please join us in the Faculty Hub on Thursday, March 2 from noon to 1 p.m. Lunch will be provided. |
