Based on feedback from several focus groups of faculty, staff and students, the Faculty Exchange Series (FES) has been re-named “Campus Conversations.” We believe this name better reflects the sessions that fall under this programming, and with the emphasis on “Campus,” we can be clear that all in the UD community are welcome to attend. We will be adding sessions to the Campus Conversations listing.

CARMA, Consortium for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis, is an interdisciplinary center devoted to helping faculty, graduate students and professionals learn of current developments in various areas of research methods and statistics. CARMA is a non-profit unit of the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University. CARMA conducts Webinars on a variety of research methods topics and hosts a video archive of prior events. We extend an invitation to all interested UD faculty, staff, and students to participate in these events. Each Webinar consists of an approximately 60 minute presentation followed by a 30 minute Q&A session. Each is presented by an accomplished expert in the area. Topics cover a range of basic and cutting edge research methods issues and areas. The sessions are suitable as an introduction to a topic, a refresher, continuing education, or for an area expert session as part of a graduate class in research methods.
CARMA offers a number of short courses on research topics taught by international experts at various locations.
CARMA is sponsored by the Department of Management and Marketing and webinars, previoulsy held in the LTC, are now available remotely.
The LTC sponsors semester-long groups of faculty and staff who read current books about teaching and learning. Participants receive free copies of the books in exchange for attending designated sessions in the LTC where they share their insights on the texts with their group.
