Weekly PDLs are open to all interested Staff & Faculty and a great way to connect with colleagues and meet new ones.
Look for us every Thursday in the Tartan Room (Lowry Center), 12-1pm, with lunch tickets available at 11:45am (if you can’t get there in time to pick one up before the event, you can get one afterwards for future use).
October 23: No PDL
October 30: Teaching Beyond the Classroom: A Dialogue on Work-Based Learning
Ashleigh Best, Director of Career Planning
Meagen Pollock, Associate Dean for Experiential Learning & Professor of Earth Sciences
Jenni Griffin, Dean of APEX
Work-based learning engages students in authentic activities with application beyond the classroom, allowing them to reflect and synthesize real-world experiences with their academic knowledge. This discussion offers a chance to share ways you’ve incorporated work-based learning into your teaching, discuss obstacles you’ve encountered, and learn strategies for overcoming challenges. A representative from Riipen (our partner in our CIC work-based learning project), will be there to engage in the conversation.
