TCC: Reminder About Spring Conversation #1 on Feb. 12: Faculty Learning Journeys

Please join the TCC as we resume our Conversations series on Monday, Feb. 12, 12:00 to 12:50 PM, where four faculty members will share their stories about an impactful and significant experience of being a novice learner. 

In the spirit of the book The Courage to Learn: Honoring the Complexity of Learning for Students and Educators, which has framed the TCC's programming theme for 2023-24, presenters will speak to the complexity of learning not as an expert in their academic fields, but as a human being encountering the learning process in a different context. 

Presenters/storytellers are:

  • Bob Muhlnickel (ENG/PHL), on the subject of training his dog Shannon to be a therapy dog
  • Erin Strobl (BIO), on the process of unlearning and healing
  • Jim Downer (VaPA), on his work with horses
  • Holly Wheeler (ENG/PHL), on recovering from traumatic brain injury

Don't miss this opportunity to connect with colleagues, listen to their stories, and reflect on your own learning journeys too. 

This is a hybrid event, so please join us however you can: in person in Room 12-201 at the Brighton Campus or join on Zoom. All faculty and staff are welcome!

See the Campus Events listing to add to your own calendar. 

The event is designed to meet the following goal of the Teaching and Creativity Center's programming: 

  • Create a culture of critical reflection, continual growth, and collaboration for faculty at all stages of professional growth 

Questions about this event?  Please email Amy Burtner, one of the TCC's faculty leads.
