TCC: Forget to Register for the June 7 Teaching & Learning Conference? You Can Still Attend--Online!

Although registration for in-person attendance is closed, despair not! You are welcome to attend this Friday's Teaching & Learning Conference on Zoom, where we can accommodate as many virtual walk-ins as desired. You'll just need to provide your own breakfast and lunch. 

Join "The Courage to Learn" Zoom meeting on Friday, June 7, 9:00am to 12:00pm.

The conference theme is The Courage to Learn: Inquiry into Self and Other, with special guest Marcia Eames-Sheavly, Senior Lecturer Emerita in Horticulture at Cornell University and co-author of The Courage to Learn: Honoring the Complexity of Learning for Educators and Students (2023). After a short keynote, Marcia will engage us in a series of guided conversations meant to foster connections with each other and reconnect us to what matters about the work we do. 

Welcomes and opening remarks will begin at 9:00am, and the program will end around 12:00pm. Because Marcia has designed the event for interactivity, Zoom participants will be placed into breakout groups at various times.
