Summer Seminar

 

Summer, 2007 -- Purple, Gray, and Green:  Infusing Sustainability into the UST Curriculum

Leader:  Elise Amel, Department of Psychology

This workshop will explore how we can meaningfully integrate the environment—broadly defined--- into our classrooms.  Participants will design new assignments or new units for a current course, or even complete new courses. Examples of how this has been done in a variety of disciplines at other institutions can be found at http://www.scienceandsociety.emory.edu/piedmont/curriculum.htm.  Examples of readings for disciplines ranging from music to education to American studies can be found at http://www.scienceandsociety.emory.edu/piedmont/resources.htm.

Summer 2007 -- New Ideas for Research and Teaching with Technology

Leaders:  Web and Media Services and UST Libraries

This workshop will provide faculty with the opportunity to explore, experience, and consider how to apply several new technologies available for those purposes at UST.   The two half-day sessions will include discussion, demonstration, some hands-on technology opportunities, and helpsheet handouts.  As a result of the workshop experience, attendees will also be asked to develop and submit a description of an assignment, assessment, or research activity that could be tried this year.
