How is the semester going for your students—and what small adjustments could make a meaningful difference in their learning? All faculty are invited to participate in the Mid-Semester Feedback (MSF) Program, a confidential, non-evaluative opportunity to hear directly from students about what is supporting their learning and what may help them succeed during the remainder of the course.

Hello,

Join Dr. Michelle Cartier for the second session in the CTL Lightning Talk & Roundtable Series. We’ll explore “grazing” as a pathway to non-outsourced joy and share collaborative strategies for amplifying student agency, voice, and authentic engagement. Each one-hour session features a 20-minute conceptual “spark” followed by a 40-minute interactive roundtable. Wednesday, September 16 12–1 p.m. CTL “Glassroom,” Library 317 Missed Session 1? No problem—each session stands on its own.

We invite all faculty to participate in the Mid-Semester Feedback (MSF) Program, a non-evaluative opportunity to hear from your students and inform your teaching and their learning success. Our graduate student facilitators will meet where you are - in person, via Zoom, and/or an asynchronous option to offer the most flexibility.

Join a thought-provoking book circle featuring Mentoring Relationships in Academia: Narratives from the Margins, edited by Dr. Meenal Rana, Professor of Child Development, and Dr. Susan Bennett, Faculty Emerita of English. Together, we’ll use the book to spark meaningful conversations about mentoring in academia. We’ll reflect on our experiences, explore important questions, and exchange practices—including what has worked, what hasn’t, and what we might try next.

Ready to bring more play, challenge, and collaboration into your classroom?
