Updating Your FYS for Today’s Students
For Faculty
March 25, 1:00 – 4:00 PM, ZSR Faculty Commons Classroom 665 | Facilitators: Kristi Verbeke & Melissa Maffeo
Please Note: This session is intended for faculty who are looking to refresh an already-existing FYS.
Are you looking to refresh your current First Year Seminar (FYS)? Join us to explore strategies for enhancing discussion and reimagining assignments to align with FYS core competencies in the current landscape (including the impact of AI). You will have time to talk through current challenges and opportunities with colleagues to generate concrete ideas and revisions that strengthen your course and create engaging, relevant learning experiences.
Experiential Learning
Town Halls
For Faculty
Please join ODOC, the School of Business, and the Provost Office for a series of Town Halls on Experiential Learning. The sessions provide faculty the opportunity to discuss the state of experiential learning at Wake Forest, the new Prepare-Engage-Reflect model for faculty, and future plans underway.
- Town Hall 4: Monday, March 30, at 4 p.m. Farrell Hall A17.
Teacher-Scholar Forum
For Faculty
On Friday, May 1st, Wake Forest will host the 2nd annual Teacher-Scholar Forum from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM in Farrell Hall. This year’s Forum, sponsored by the Office of the Provost and supported by the Center for the Advancement of Teaching, will explore experiential learning. The conference will open with two plenary addresses: the first by Georgetown’s Randy Bass, and the second introducing the community to Wake Forest’s new framework for experiential learning. Participants will then have the opportunity to engage with peers in disciplinary-based panels, workshops on various modes of experiential learning, and working sessions to help them integrate these ideas into their own courses and contexts. We encourage you to join us for the full day of conversation and collaboration with colleagues from across campus.
