February Coffee Chat: Interactions Unlimited

Published January 31, 2013

Thursday, Feb 21 from 3-4 PM in the library’s East Reading Room

Connected students are more likely to be retained. This munch and learn session, in collaboration with Nilufer Onder’s NSF funded ENGAGE project, will help faculty explore ways to better connect with students. Four speakers will initiate faculty discussions about connections in the classroom, through research, in career discussions, and in other small but effective ways.

Coffee and light refreshments will be provided to those who register by Monday 2/18. Please register by calling 487-2046, or click here to register online.
