A Celebration of Teaching
One of our favorite events of the year is coming up in early April—our annual Celebration of Teaching. We hope that you’ll join us to share your teaching successes from the academic year and to get inspiration and insights from your colleagues. The event will take place in the Faculty Hub (3rd Floor of Boatwright Library) on Tuesday, April 4 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and is open to faculty and instructional staff. At 3:45 p.m., President Hallock and Provost Legro will provide welcoming remarks, and opportunities to visit and celebrate with colleagues will follow. Please RSVP to let us know that you're planning to join us, and please indicate if you have teaching materials/outcomes you wish to share at the event.
Register for the Celebration of Teaching.
