FIG #2 - For the Future: Emerging Research in Human Learning - Meeting 3 of 3

2016 Faculty Interest Groups (FIG)

The Academy for Teaching and Learning (ATL) is pleased to announce the theme for our Spring 2016 Faculty Interest Groups (FIG): For the Future.

Why “For the Future” and why now? Educators can no longer look only to the past or present to resolve the challenges facing higher education. These challenges include changing student demographics,unsustainable financial models, and shifting paradigms of discovery and creativity. How might we respond to these challenges?

Each FIG will introduce new ways to imagine and undertake our tasks as educators.

Please join your colleagues for one or more of these exciting and important conversations. Books will be provided for participants.
