Hot Topics at Noon: Curriculum, Scholarship, Safe Spaces
Fall 2005 events from the Perlman Center for Learning and Teaching (LTC) focus on a number of hot topics: curricular issues such as reflective writing, classroom publishing, and quantitative literacy; assessment and human subjects protection; and the challenge of making classrooms simultaneously psychically "safe" and intellectually dangerous—a topic that continues last year’s discussions of classroom experiences with stereotypes and racially charged language. Al Montero, recently back from leading the Maastricht program, fills us in on developments in the European Union. Sam Patterson and Bill Titus report on what happened last year when they taught the whole of each other’s courses. Book discussions continue on the common reading The Working Poor and on Gender in Academia, and two pedagogical workshops will explore issues of problem-solving and academic honesty. See the full list of events to follow.

Printing Services encourages the use of recycled paper in office copiers and printers on campus. We support Carleton’s Environmental Statement of Principles which states in part "…Carleton strives to be a model of stewardship for the environment by incorporating ideals of sustainability into the operations of the College and the daily life of individuals."
As the primary source of paper used in copiers and printers on the Carleton College campus, Printing Services has adopted the policy and practice of filling such orders with uncoated white paper with a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled content. Use of virgin paper is discouraged, however, it will be available for customers who deem it necessary for their work.
Ordering paper has just gotten easier. Access the on-line order form from the Printing Services Web site. Orders will be delivered on or before the next business day.
