Faculty Center Cohort 2 Series (From Spring 2022)

The purpose of this Faculty Learning Community (two cohorts continuing from Spring 2022) is to introduce faculty members to best practices in teaching and interacting with students of diverse backgrounds as well as to practices that support meaningful and accessible learning for all students. Sessions will encourage participants to examine their beliefs about diversity and equity, and gain knowledge and understanding about how diversity and identity influence higher education practices. Participants will further explore their biases in ways that help them become more equity-minded in their instruction. The sessions will particularly address best practices for teaching and working with ethnically diverse students, differently-abled students, first-generation students and students from low-income families.
