Faculty Spotlight

Join us for this online faculty-led series where colleagues highlight a certain classroom practice, use of a technological platform, pedagogical approach, or research on classroom/studio practice they’ve found invaluable and especially relevant for cross-departmental sharing. Each Spotlight takes place virtually and includes about 20 minutes of sharing with plenty of time for questions, answers, and conversation in the rest of our hour together.
