At 308 Allen Hall
Same goals, different format. The focus of these interactive sessions is on teaching and/or research. Our goals are simple-- to provide an opportunity for instructors to explore a variety teaching and/or research practices and to share their ideas with colleagues. We will provide snacks and drinks. From 3:30-4:15, colleagues will learn and discuss effective practices; from 4:15-5:00, participants will apply what they learned (and get feedback) during a work session. Need to leave at 4:15? That’s fine with us.

Design thinking is a method for solving complex and human centered problems. This in-person workshop will provide participants with a creative way to solve administrative challenges, foster innovative teaching pedagogies, and provide a framework to support students in experiential learning.
The facilitators will guide participants in the history and process of design thinking through hands-on experiential activities. This is not a lecture! You will be building, creating, and acting together. We will then provide participants with an opportunity to utilize the process they just learned and apply it to a challenge in their own teaching or administrative duties.
