Teaching and Scholarship Hub

Please sign up here if you would like lunch during the September Mini-Symposium. More information about the symposia is below.

The Mini-Symposia Series builds on the extraordinary enthusiasm for the Faculty and Staff Research Symposium, offering a new rhythm of exchange across the academic year. Instead of one full day, we gather four times– in the fall and spring—for half-day symposia that revisit and reimagine presentations from the full Symposium. This new format allows more opportunities to engage with colleagues’ research, creative projects, and collaborations in a focused and accessible way. Next fall, the full one-day Symposium returns, as the formats will alternate in two-year cycles. 

Schedule for February 20:

• 10:00 a.m. – Coffee and light breakfast fare at the Faculty Hub
• 10:30–11:45 a.m. – Morning Session
• 11:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. – Lunch at the Faculty Hub
• 12:15–1:30 p.m. – Afternoon Session

Please feel free to come for all or part of the day–no need to register; if you would like to join in the lunch, sign up above.
