Faculty News 01.27.25

Faculty News is a collaboration between Academic Affairs and the Office of Research. Major contributors include Academic Innovation, Faculty Success, Libraries, Registrar and the Office of Research Support. The newsletter lands in the inboxes of everyone with a faculty appointment, including tenured, tenure-track and fixed-term-track faculty, college deans and department chairs.

IN THIS ISSUE:

• Boosting student engagement. To create a truly dynamic learning environment, we must go beyond simply designing relevant course materials. A supportive classroom where students feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their ideas is equally crucial. Explore how interactive tools like iClicker can be used to foster active participation and enhance the learning experience.
