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.
To submit suggestions for Campus Conversations sessions, email facdev@udayton.edu
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.
