During the academic year, the Dean of the Graduate School, Pero Dagbovie, invites graduate students to join him and his graduate school colleagues for lunch and conversation in Chittenden Hall along the beautiful and historic Laboratory Row.

About the Event:

This unique opportunity allows Graduate Students the chance to connect with The Graduate School leadership and staff in a relaxed and informal lunch setting. 

If you have attended a CCTI, the FAST Institute or are working independently on completing the CCT competency, this session is for you. This session is a space for you to work on any part of your CCT. Please come prepared with your draft materials, a task to work on, a concrete question to move you forward and the readiness to move one aspect of your CCT Portfolio forward.

Facilitators: Dr. Stefanie Baier and Dr. Rique Campa

In this workshop you will strengthen your teaching techniques by adopting teaching practices that better align with your values, and you will learn new ways to create and maintain course cultures.

Many academic positions require a teaching philosophy statement as one of the application materials to learn about a candidate’s teaching beliefs, values, and use of evidence-based teaching and assessment practices for effective instruction. In this workshop you will learn how to document your teaching and/or teaching professional development experiences to start crafting your teaching philosophy statement with the help of a rubric.

Living under constant pressure can decrease your effectiveness and life satisfaction.
