Faculty Development
Events
Fall 2011
Teaching Tuesdays
Lunch sessions are planned this semester to “promote engaged learning one lunch at a time.” Faculty members learned how to engage students and teach with excellence from some of JBU’s most effective professors.
- September 27 at Noon: Opening Doors to Student Success, Jackie Wright
- October 25 at Noon: Teaching and Culture, Ron Johnson
- November 15 at Noon: Wills and Trusts for Faculty, John McCullough
Faculty Lunches and Colloquia
Each semester, Faculty Development tries to offer several opportunities to enjoy an engaging presentation from an academic colleague. Typically, presentations by JBU faculty members are called "faculty colloquia," and presentations by outside persons are called "faculty lunches."
