Spring 2024

Learning Circles are small communities of faculty and staff who meet on a regular basis during a single semester. Each community reads a particular book or set of articles on learning and teaching and discusses the book during their sessions.  All participants receive a Certificate of Participation for their Faculty Portfolio. Books are provided to each participant. Starting the first week of the semester, January 8 for spring 2024, books can be picked up outside from FL 416 between 9am - 4:30pm for the first three weeks of the semester. To join the Learning Circle, select the "Join Teams". It will send a request to join and once you are added, you will see instructions on how to add each session to your calendar.
