Faculty Seminar
The best way to model behavior for our students and colleagues is by demonstrating our own capacity as learners. The Faculty Seminar is composed of 10-15 volunteers who serve one-year terms. Deans from Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, Arts and Sciences, and Professional Studies solicit 10% participation from their respective schools, along with a representative from Student Life. Participants share responsibility for the seminar through:
- Designing their own program of study
- Creating new assessment tools
- Determining subjects for seminars
- Sharing research information
This interdisciplinary group uses the familiar seminar format to design or redesign courses, course assignments, and student assessment. The faculty seminar also periodically provides information to part-time faculty, graduate teaching assistants, and the faculty at large.
