Pre-holiday reminder: Sign up for Faculty Development Conference

The 19th Annual Faculty Development Conference will be held Jan. 21, 2015 in the University Union. This year’s theme is “Engaging Students as Partners in Teaching and Learning: A High Impact Practice for All.” Emerging research suggests that engaging students as partners in teaching and learning has a potential to enhance, and perhaps even transform, student learning — and also faculty teaching. This interactive keynote will explore practical strategies from diverse disciplines for creating and sustaining student-faculty partnerships in teaching and learning. The featured present is Peter Felten of Elon University, co-author of books including Transforming Students: Fulfilling the Promise of Higher Education (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014) and Engaging Students as Partners in Learning and Teaching (Jossey-Bass, 2014). You must pre-register for the conference. There is a no charge for UW-Green Bay employees. Lunch included. To register, visit www.uwgb.edu/catl/conference/.
