Midwest Faculty Seminars, 2009-2010
The University of Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning announces dates and titles of the four 2009-2010 Midwest Faculty Seminars. Benefits of these seminars include offering faculty the opportunity to participate actively and collaboratively, with colleagues from across the disciplines, in discussions that immediately and directly address, not only matters of mutual interest, but also issues that profoundly affect teaching and learning. In doing so, the seminars afford faculty occasions for study and reflection and, also, for the sort of cross-disciplinary exchange that characterizes liberal arts education at its best.
